Hanwei Paul Chinese Swords Chen Dadao Sword
Long the traditional weapon of China’s peasant armies, the Dadao, or big sword (SH1012), 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 scabbard, a simple carrying case is provided for protection and ease of transportation.
