Single Handed Sword

A solid black/purple Sandalwood is used for both the handle and scabbard, with additional real pearl fish-skin used to wrap the handle. Beautiful antiqued brass fittings complete both the sword and scabbard, all of which are hand-carved artworks. This is a highly ornamental sword with premium presentation and collection value. 

This one hand sword presents unique advantages over longer swords with longer handles. They are often quicker, shorter weapons which come into power within enclosed spaces such as a room or alleyway, and this Dao Chinese sword is no exception. It is a fast and deadly close-quarters weapon with exceptional combat versatility. 

Constructed to full traditional Chinese cultural design, this Dao sword is a pleasure to both own and use.
