Tang Dynasty Dao Sword Elite

As its name suggests, the Elite Tang Dynasty Dao is a replica of the type of sword popular during the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 CE), a time many scholars consider to be the high point in Chinese history.

Made from tamahagane steel with soshu kitae lamination, a highly desirable and complex lamination technique, this blade is a true masterpiece. It is differentially hardened and Hazuya polished by hand using a thin Uchigumori stone fixed with paper to bring out the vibrant and beautiful grain and hamon. The traditional tempering process using clay creates a hard edge that stays sharp while maintaining a flexible spine that absorbs impact.

Featuring darkened premium brass fittings with Tang Dynasty designs along with a wooden hilt and scabbard covered with genuine rayskin, this dao is a must have for any individual who loves Chinese swords.
