Ming Dao Sword

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

Completed with a solid Ebony hardwood scabbard, intricately illustrated white-brass fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality-cord bound handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

This Dao Chinese 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.
