Ryujin 65MN Spring Steel Oxtail Dao – T62224

A sword design first influenced by the curved swords of the Mongol invaders and later evolving on its own, the Oxtail Dao is a late-period Qing Dynasty civilian fighting sword that is balanced and optimized to perform.

Alongside the Dadao, this blade was frequently found amidst the chaos and the carnage of the 19th and 20th centuries and has also starred in many a Kung fu movie as it slashes and cuts its way through multiple endings. The 30.5″ blade weighs approx 2.3 lbs and is balanced 9.5″ out from the handguard to achieve truly frightening cutting velocities.

Unlike most other replicas currently on the market this is no flimsy ‘Wushu’ blade but instead has the same characteristics as the historical originals it is based on – in a word, it is great value for money.
