Dao Chinese Sword

Forged with T10 steel, a high-carbon steel mixed with other trace elements, such as tungsten, manganese and silicon, etc, this modern, highly refined steel is renowned for its hardness, durable edge holding capacity, along with good elasticity and resilience. It is the highest carbon-content steel used for blade-smithing, and arguably the best sword-making steel available for a true combat 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 sword’s blade. 

Deadly and highly versatile, this sabre sword is capable of being used both with a single or both hands, along with a full range of classic sword attacks, including thrusting, cutting and slashing.

The handle and scabbard are both constructed with an exotic, hard acid tree wood, which is both beautiful and hard-wearing. All sword and scabbard fittings are solid brass – gilded in real gold, and hand-carved into intricate artworks. 

Collectable and presentable, this Liuyedao sword saber is a work of battle functional art and a real treasure to both own and use.
