More Chinese stuff

Hi Gavin, I like to show an example of a similar looking shuang dao, that I have.

They are fabulous in the hands and sing sweetly through the air I am chuffed

And I must agree on that, the move so good, new ones I have are much to heavy and clumsy for practice, and I was very pleased when I found these, chuffed is the word...

These looks very much the same, but hard to know just from pictures. But reading this

As for these blades, they both share the fine edge from hilt to tip, but the spine tapers from 9mm at the hilt to just under 1mm at the point where the fullers end

I see they are much thinner at the hilt. They are 74 centimeters long, and blades are 60 centimeters, with 4 millimeters thickness, and 31 millimeters width at the hilt, giving them point of balance at 14 centimeters from the handle. The condition is very good but with a few nicks, but it sounds like I shouldn't dwell on that, seeing that there have been heated debates although that looks like its from play, not actual usage...
