Dao Sword- 1095 Steel High Carbon - Gold Emperor Saber- Qing Dao- 42"

Emperor Saber Dao Sword: A Fusion of History and Craftsmanship The Emperor Saber Dao Sword is a modern homage to the ancient Chinese dao, a saber renowned for its single-edged blade and historical significance. Tracing its roots to the Shang Dynasty (1766-1122 B.C.E.), the dao epitomizes the evolution of Chinese weaponry. Famed during the Han Dynasty and refined in the Ming Dynasty, this sword symbolizes the martial prowess and artistry of ancient China. Design Evolution: From Cavalry to Martial Arts Originally a cavalry weapon in the early Han Dynasty, the dao transitioned to an infantry favorite, replacing the han jian. Its design, ranging from 34 to 45 inches, was adept for use with a rectangular shield. The dao's influence extended beyond Asia, inspiring Middle Eastern and European sabers post the 13th-century Mongol invasions. Our model, the Qing Dao, reflects this rich heritage and is a favored choice in modern martial arts and self-defense training for its versatility. Blade Cra
