REAL SWORDS FOR SALE

Hand Forged and Polished Blades
Proven Cutters in Either
SANMEI or CARBON STEEL

Some real swords can't cut for toffee. Some are too soft or too brittle. Some have problems with weak tangs. These swords from Huanuo Forge, have been well tested for strength and cutting ability. I use the dao pictured on this page for regular cutting and I love it. I've had it for a couple of years and haven't had to sharpen it yet.


Each of these swords has it's own page of information with a resizable picture gallery for close up views of the details. Click on the links to reach the pages. These are modern swords reproduced to be as close as possible to the Qing dynasty originals (1644-1911).

The picture on the right shows a top of the range Jian and the pictures below it show the nice folded steel blade on this real sword and my teacher, Scott Rodell, cutting with one of these blades.

Australians can order these swords very quickly since I already have some in the country. It takes a little longer to send them overseas. This sword has a forge folded sanmei steel blade with a harder edge plate (58-65 hrc) and outer softer steel folded to 8,000 - 10,000 layers at about 55 hrc.

A good quality sharp, two edged sword suitable for forms and cutting. It comes with a wooden scabbard with matching fittings to those on the sword. The grip is cord wrapped.

These real swords have now arrived.

I know from experience how hard it is to sort through the information and try to work out which is the best, especially if it's your first sword and you can't afford to make a mistake. So, as part of this Chinese Swords Guide, I want to provide a service for those of us on this side of the world. There are other good ones from different forges but these ones are available now.

Carbon Steel Round Grip Battle Dao

I have this one and have been using it for a couple of years. I'm very happy with it. It's a powerful sword and easily cuts water filled Coke bottles and small branches. After all this time it has only minor scratches on the blade and I've never had to repolish it. It's really great value.

The Dao is well balanced and I use it for forms and basic cuts practise as well as for cutting. If you're looking for a real sword and want a sabre, this one is worth considering. It's a modern sword remake of the Willow Leaf Dao.

Are these swords available worldwide?

Yes, these real, cutting quality swords are available in Australia and can be exported to other countries. If you live in an area with a sword ban, such as Victoria in Australia, or in the UK, you will have to provide documentation allowing them to be sent to you before I can can sell you one.

Enquire about the swords on this page.

These are the best Chinese swords available in Australia but if you didn't find your perfect sword on this page or want a different sort of sword, here's another site that specializes in reviewing and testing affordable swords of all types. Take a look at the Sword Buyers Guide.
