The Kungfu Sword or Dao (1011-GT) is undoubtedly the best weapon-upgrade sword for its type commercially available. Unlike the many decorative and theatrical versions of this sword, the Hanwei product is a true replica of the originals. The distaltapered blade and traditional hand-tied grip make for superb handling. A brass-mounted scabbard is included. Long the traditional weapon of China's peasant armies, the Dadao, or fighting sword (1012-GT), 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 sacbbard, a simple carrying case is provided for protection and ease of transportation. |
