Starting in Ming  Dynasty, to improve the quality of its sabers, these sabers started to be made modeling after Japanese sword. In the collector's circle they are called Qi Jia Dao, as legend has it were first made for the famous general Qi Ji-guang (戚繼光). This style continued into early Qing Dynasty. This Qi Jia Dao sword is made of Damascus folded steel with top quality red hualee wood scabbard. It has a double grooves on each side to lighten the blade. The more weight that is reduced will in turn create a faster blade and move the balance point closer to the wielder. The sword guard and matching fittings are all pure brass.
