Dragon Chinese Sword Sabre Dao Broadsword Folded Steel Clay Temper Hazuya Polish Blade

This Chinese Qing Dynasty Tenglong Dao(腾龙刀) is the result of a clay tempered (hardened) Hazuya polishing blade using our Damascus folded Steel. The dragon is a mysterious animal in ancient Chinese legends. Dragon is one of the most representative traditional cultures of the Han nationality, and it is also a symbol of rights and status. The beautiful real hamon on the blade is result of the differential cooling of the blade (quenching and tempering). Hazuya is a specific stone to bring up hamon, The stone is very fine and soft against the steel. The work is done to get mirror-like surface on shinogi-ji and edge. The handle is a solid pure brass and has beautiful dragon patterns. The scabbard is black ebony with pure brass fittings and matching antiqued finish.
