Phoenix Arms Ming Dao - Damascus

Dao blades are moderately curved and single-edged, though often with a few inches of the back edge sharpened; the moderate curve allows them to be reasonably effective in the thrust. Hilts are sometimes canted, curving in the opposite direction of the blade, which improves handling in some forms of cuts and thrusts. The Ming dynasty lasted from 1368 until 1644 following the collapse of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty. This Mongol-inspired Dao would go on to completely replace the Jian as a military-issue weapon.PP SPECIFICATIONS Chinese single-edged straight sword Damascus blade Hardwood scabbard High end brass fittings  Full tangSS SHIPPING, TERMS, AND REFUNDS By placing an order with RVA Katana, the customer affirms they are a legal adult in their country of residence, and will comply with all local, state, and national laws regarding their order.
