'Basters of Chinese Swords' a Chinese/Vietnamese Da Dao :P
The title I got from a discussion with Philip :p
I took these off the swap...had never posted them here for show/ discussion. I've never looked much into the history of the Da Dao (big knife)...but it's easy to see how they might be inspired from a sawed off version of a polearm similar to the Guan/kwan Dao or Pu Dao... http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/100_5124.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/100_5126.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/100_5128.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/100_5129.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/100_5131.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/100_5132.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/100_5134.jpg Weight = 2.4 lbs Sword 1: Blade: 19inches Handle 15 1/2 inches Sword 2: Blade 19 1/2 inches Handle: 15 inches Blade Width = 3 inches at the widest Blade Thickness at hilt 0.6mm, 0.7mm |
