The antique Da-Dao I have seen in Taiwan seem to have curled guards, S-guards, and "cup" guards in roughly equal proportion... but WW2 Da-Dao seem to be stereotypically S-guarded...

Here is mine, recently acquired.
The fullers are perfectly executed, the wrapping cord is flat and original, with wooden cheeks underneath. The blade rings like a bell. I am gently removing the crud. Surprisingly, there is very little pitting, just a couple of superficial and very small spots. I do not want to shine it bright: its wrinkles make me feel being on the same page...... Will ve very grateful for any comments. |

Even with very incomplete cleaning I seem to be able to see laminated structures.
