SINGLE-EDGE
SWORDS / SABERS (Dao)
|
|
|
| Many Chinese Gung Fu (Kung Fu) systems use hardwood dao (saber or single edged swords) as part of their training regimen. Raven Studios hardwood training dao are designed to withstand the rigors of free-sparring and are also well suited for forms and solo technique practice. I feel it is important that each training sword mimic a real swords performance and feel as closely as possible, therefore these hardwood practice swords are constructed with the following qualities: |
- Patterned after real swords. I strive to maintain historical
accuracy.
- The blades are made from Hickory (unless otherwise
noted). Information about hardwood
- The blades are made with a ricasso for added strength and the edges are rounded for durability.
- The hilt is made from your choice of Jatoba, Hickory,
or Purple Heart.
- NEW Revised Guards - The guards are now all made from two laminated cross grained pieces of wood for maximum strength and durability. The guards are locked into the blades and can not slide or loosen.
- The blades have a full tang and the handles are constructed
with laminated hardwood slabs.
- The handle is oval shaped for maximum comfort and control
of the sword.
- Finished with a linseed and tung oil blend which penetrates into the wood to create a tough and durable surface.
