Handmade Tang Dao Chinese Sword | Damascus Folded Steel Blade with Ebony Scabbard
The Tang Dao (唐刀) is one of the most iconic weapons of the Tang Dynasty, recognized as one of the four primary military sabers of ancient China. Known for its narrow blade, small guard, and long handle, the Tang Dao was designed for both two-handed combat and battlefield efficiency. This handmade version preserves the historical design while integrating modern craftsmanship for collectors and martial artists.
Authentic Tang Dynasty Sword Design
The Tang Dao was not just a weapon, but also a symbol of the military strength of the Tang Dynasty. Its long handle allows for powerful two-handed strikes, while the slender blade ensures agility and precision. Compared with a Chinese Jian Sword, which is double-edged, the Tang Dao emphasizes cutting ability and speed, making it a preferred weapon on the battlefield.
Damascus Folded Steel Blade with Clay Tempered Hamon
This Tang Dao is forged from Damascus folded steel, undergoing 13 careful folding processes to produce over 8,192 grain layers (Hada).
8192-Layer Hada Grain Pattern
The folding process reveals a beautiful Hada wood-grain pattern, giving each blade a unique and natural look.
Traditional Clay Tempering Process
The blade features a clay tempered hamon, following traditional methods that harden the edge while maintaining flexibility in the spine. This ensures superior sharpness and durability, much like our hand-forged Japanese katanas.
Premium Ebony Scabbard and Brass Fittings
The ebony wood handle and scabbard offer a refined, natural look while ensuring strength and durability.
Hand-Carved Dragon Brass Fittings
The fittings are made from solid brass, intricately carved with dragon motifs, symbolizing power, wisdom, and protection.
Ebony Wood Handle and Scabbard Finish
The smooth black finish enhances the sword’s elegant appearance, making it not only a weapon but also a collectible work of art.
Full Tang Construction for Martial Arts Practice
This sword is built with a full tang design reinforced with double bamboo pegs for maximum safety. Hand-polished to razor sharpness, it is battle-ready and suitable for traditional swordsmanship practice as well as display.
