HANWEI Ox-Tail Dao by Paul Chen (SH1011)

Hanweis Ox-Tail Dao is undoubtedly one of the best swords of its type commercially available.

Unlike the many decorative and theatrical versions of this sword, the Hanwei sword is a true replica of the originals. With its traditional ox-tail design, distal-tapered blade and hand-tied grip, the dao handles very well.

A brass-mounted wooden scabbard is included.

Made by Hanwei.
