Folded Pattern Steel Clay Tempered Eight Immortal Dao

The "Chinese Eight Immortals Dao" draws inspiration from Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) blades used by foot infantry. This sword, made from pattern steel, has been folded and clay-tempered to produce a genuine hamon line while enhancing the hardness of its edge. Thanks to the hazuya stone-style polish, the blade boasts a shiny mirror finish and a keen edge.

This Dao showcases two sets of fullers, which not only lighten the blade but also make a unique sound when slashing. The scabbard is crafted from rosewood, while the handle features traditional cord wrapping. Both the mountings and fittings are fashioned from pure brass and enriched with decorations like auspicious clouds and fish, symbolizing luck. The sword, which can be either sharpened or unsharpened, includes a storage bag.
