Handmade practice or display Dao.
This Dao is a special one. It's made for two person practice. The guards are made from plywood to minimize the chance of breaking when hit with another Dao. This doesn't, nor do I, guarantee these will not break. The blade is oak so it's very strong and feels dense.
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.
