Corn Leaf Sabre - Miadao

(Ref: SH2275)

The Miaodao (Corn Leaf Saber) is another design by Sifu Adam Hsu. This graceful sword is very quick at well under 2 lbs. and the grooved high-carbon blade hisses beautifully in the cutting stroke. The grip is bound in rattan to avoid slipping. For students qualified to use a live blade, the sword is well suited to both Miaodao form and martial applications.

Practical Broadsword

(Ref: HW2063)

The Practical Gongfu Broadsword sword is a further extension of our “Practical” Series. Featuring a distal-tapered high carbon steel blade, wrapped grip and steel fittings, the dao is a traditional ox-tail design. The textured wooden scabbard is designed with a slotted opening, which makes both for easy sheathing and graceful lines. In line with other swords in the “Practical” series, the Practical Gongfu Broadsword is very affordable.

Dadao Sword

(Ref: HW1012)

Long the traditional weapon of China’s peasant armies, the Dadao, or big sword, was used with deadly effect as late as the 1930’s in the Sino-Japanese War. Its single- or two-handed versatility, combined with the tremendous slashing power of its weight-forward blade made it the ideal close-quarters weapon. Although the originals had no scabbard, a simple carrying case is provided for protection and ease of transportation.

Key Features

Authentic styling
Powerful cutting capability
Scabbard included

Military Dadao

(Ref: SH2447)

This sword replicates a Dadao used by the Chinese military during the Japanese invasion of China in the pre-WWII era and celebrates a Chinese victory at the battle of the Great Wall, in which the Dadao and the Katana were actually pitted against each other.

The leather handle wrap is representative of the many different wrapping materials originally used by the poorly-equipped army - many of the handles were simply wrapped with strips of clothing fabric, knotted in place. A leather scabbard is included for safety, though the originals had none. The sword is ruggedly built to handle heavy-duty cutting.

Beile Dao

(Ref: HW2386)

The original Beile (Lord in Manchu), also known as the “Banner Lords” and “Iron-Capped Princes” were the sons of Nurgaci, founder of the Qing Dynasty. After his death the Beile Hong Taiji was selected as Khan.

Our Beile Dao commemorates this Prince. Its beautifully detailed Iron furniture complements the patterning of the Damascus blade and the rayskin-covered scabbard adds to the rugged richness of the sword. Truly a collector piece and creating a demand in its homeland, this sword will only be available in limited quantities.
