Why a Dao?
The Dao is the legendary Chinese weapon that was wielded by warriors during the Ming dynasty.
The name "DAO" actually means "knife," but don't be fooled by its humble name. If you're imagining a simple blade that looks like your average kitchen knife, think again. DAO swords were the pinnacle of Chinese swords —- fierce, powerful, and undeniably stylish. They were curved, with a single-edged blade that was around three feet long, and the handle was long enough to be wielded with two hands.
But what made the DAO sword so special? For starters, it was a symbol of status and power —- specially among wealthy families and members of the royalty. Many DAO swords were adorned with intricate designs, including dragon motifs and other symbols of power and strength.
The DAO sword is also a versatile weapon. It can be used for both offense and defense, and it’s deadly in either role. It’s very effective against cavalry, as its curved blade can slice through a horse's legs with ease. But it can also be used in close-quarters combat, where its weight and balance makes it a formidable weapon.
Where to buy Dao swords?
Our swordsmiths have prepared Dao swords with all kinds of designs and styles —- each with different symbolism, colors, and features. You’re sure to find the sword of your dreams in our collections.
All of swords are also full-tang. What does that mean? It means that the swords, from the blade to the handle, is composed of a single, thick metallic structure. In other words, the interior if the handle is the same steel as the blade. This is vital to make strong swords that’ll be able to whitstand blows without breaking.
And since we’re talking about the steel, let’s zoom in on the quality. All our Dao swords for sale are made of pure carbon steel of different density. This is downright the best steel for swords (yes, better than stainless steel). It creates strong swords that can retain their sharpness for a long time.
