Two maces I recently harvested

Yup, look like sword breakers - I seem to recall a recent Chinese historic film that had one of the protagonists who carried and used one. A certain firm named after low temperature steel has a few you tube videos available on them. They can snap or bend an opponents sword. I also don't think getting hit with one would be a good idea.

Yes, being hit by this weapon will break the bones and incapacitate the person, do you have an ancient Chinese sword in your collection?

Yes, I have a couple, 2 newish Jian and a few Dao, and a couple antique pirate style short swords.

Don't have a'sword breaker' - not my style.

I have collected hundreds of Chinese weapons, and some of the photos you posted are modern Chinese weapons. The first weapon in the pictures is from the Vietnam region, and I mainly collect weapons from before the Republic of China.

You ask for Chinese weapons, here are mine. The first is a dao with a Japanese style handle, the other both I will receive soon.
