Handmade practice or display Dao.
My 6x series Dao are functinal but have strayed from traditional design. With longer handles and snake shaped pommels they could be seen as more fantasy swords than Dao.
Reused automotive wheel weights are in the handle to make a more realistic balance. One solid piece from blade to pommel.
Finished with 100% Boiled Linseed Oil and a homemade pastewax made with the same Linseed Oil and Beeswax.
