Chinese Nandao Sword
This heavy Broadsword is similar to the ancient Chinese sword called the Nandao which is made primarily for chopping and slashing; its most common form is also called the Chinese Saber yet the weapons that feature wider blades are at times called the Chinese Broadswords. The Dao is considered as one of the traditional weapons in China together with their stick / staff, the spear, and the sword. The Dao is known as the General of All Weapons in the country.
The Dao varies in style and this has changed over the centuries; it is commonly seen with a slightly curved blade that is single-edged yet when it comes to our Broadswords blade, it mirrors the appearance of the Dao that have been created during the Shang Dynasty the period of Chinas Bronze Age and are called the Zhibeidao which have straightened blades. The Broadsword is made of steel or iron which has been utilized by the time of the late warring period. During the Han Dynasty, the Dao became highly popular with the cavalry because of its sturdiness, durability, and its excellence in chopping. The late Han Dynasty was the time when the Dao featured slightly rounded grips and ring-shaped pommels.
In history during the Tang Dynasty, the Dao was one of the weapons exported to Japan and Korea, and these weapons greatly influenced the style of swordsmithing in both countries. The blades of the Dao from the Tang era are rather reminds the chokuto of the Japanese; in the preceding dynasties, specifically the Tang dynasty, the daos entire blade appeared straight. The most common side arms during this period were the single-handed belt-dao or the peidao and the two-handed long dao or changdao. Some of the blades from the previous dynasties still continued to live on and even had some of the descendants see military action in the twentieth century. The Dao was still utilized by a few Chinese militia against invaders during the 2nd Sino-Japanese battle and were primarily utilized for planned ambushes and attacks on the Japanese troops since the Chinese military and resistance groups had limited numbers of firearms.
