Qin Dao, 20 Inch Blade, Chinese Sword
video
Showing a Chinese Qin Dao Sword.
This sword is heavy for it's length, the blade length is 20 inches, the steel in an unknown carbon steel. The handle is cheap ABS plastic and the fixtures are zinc. The edge came fairly sharp. Like a katana, it has no edge bevel. I am unsure who makes this sword, I only ever saw one being sold and the seller is now gone. After doing some research, I believe this sword might have been manufactured by “Zhi Sword Forge," as their website shows swords which are similar but not identical.
