Masterful Construction & Premium Materials

Superior Folded Steel Blade

• Authentic Pattern Steel: The magnificent blade of this Chinese Dao sword is expertly forged from pattern steel, showcasing a breathtaking beautiful grain pattern with visible layers. This intricate layering is a result of repeated heat treatment and hand forging, a process that removes impurities and imbues the blade with remarkable strength and flexibility.

• Traditional Clay Tempering & Hazuya Polishing: The blade undergoes a traditional clay tempering process, creating a distinct and authentic hamon (temper line). Further enhanced by Hazuya polishing, the hamon and the layers of the folded steel are brought to life, highlighting the blade's exceptional craftsmanship.

• Double Bo-Hi for Balance: Featuring a double Bo-Hi (fuller), this sword achieves an excellent balance and weight distribution, enhancing its handling and responsiveness.

Elegant Brass Fittings & Ebony Scabbard

• Pure Brass Dragon Fittings: The Tsuba (guard) and all matching fittings are crafted from pure brass, adorned with an exquisite dragon design. These intricate details add a touch of imperial elegance and cultural significance to the sword.

• Sturdy Wooden Handle: The handle, constructed from durable hard wood, provides a solid and comfortable grip, allowing for precise control.

• Luxurious Ebony Scabbard: The sword is housed in a handsome ebony wood scabbard, featuring complementary copper mountings that enhance its overall aesthetic appeal and offer robust protection for the blade.
