Single Edged Short Sword

In addition to the high grade of steel, the blade is genuine clay tempered. A very difficult process in-order to precisely and uniformly harden the blade’s cutting edge, while leaving the core and spine softer and more resilient to combat stresses.

Both the handle and scabbard are a dark, exotic Ebony wood, finished with alloyed metal fittings – all of which are intricate in design. 

Designed to be used interchangeably with a single or both hands, this Chinese short sword is capable of very fast cutting and thrusting attacks. Much faster than a combatant with a two handed and usually much heavier sword.

Highly collectable, presentational and a deadly Chinese Dao sword. This Chinese sword is a real treasure to both own and use.
