Your Dao Sword was handed to you by your master, many years ago. It had been a bittersweet moment for you, because while it meant you had overcome all obstacles in your training, it also meant that it was time to set out on your own.

You look beyond the campfire where a fresh fish now cooks, sizzling in the heat, looking to the flickering shadows along the treeline. You have the sense that tonight you and your sword may once again be tested as you hear the unmistakable snap of a twig, your grip on the sword tightening in anticipation.

DETAILS

This bestselling Ready For Battle Sword Dao is inspired by the ‘General of Weapons’ – a curved sword traditional in eastern cultures. It features a balanced single-edged blade, popular with cavalry and effective at chopping and slashing. The blade is slightly curved with a fake-edge meant to improve its piercing effectiveness, and attaches to the split-leather wrapped handle with an oval-shaped cross-guard. The pommel is rounded, matching the blade’s overall design.

While Asian-inspired, the RFB Dao is low-fantasy enough to be used in almost any setting. Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Primarily used by the Chinese for slashing and chopping
• Considered one of the four traditional Chinese weapons
