Chinese dao is very similar to Western sabers and along with the jian stands as one of the traditional military swords of China. Known as a yanmaodao (“goose-quill saber”), this particular style sword has a 13.75 inch long single-edged blade which comes very sharp and features a piercing point for thrusting. The blade is molded from multiple layers of durable and long lasting 3cr13 steel with the core exposed at the cutting edge and sandwiched between layers of softer steel. A FREE tan leather snap fastened sheath is included while Tibetan characters on the sheath and blade reflect the unique combination of a fierce warrior tradition and deep spirituality native to the people of Tibet.
