Curved Short Sword

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this Chinese short sword. 

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this curved shortsword blade. 

Completed with an Ebony hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword-fittings, and a matching Ebony hardwood handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

This Chinese Dao sword is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
