Chinese Dao FAQ
What is a Chinese dao?
A dao is a single-edged Chinese saber. Shapes vary—from Tang Hengdao profiles to later curved sabers—so compare listings for curvature, length, and fittings.
Dao vs jian—which should I buy?
Dao blades are single-edged sabers; jian are typically straight and double-edged. Shop Chinese Jian for the classic straight sword, or Tang Dao for Tang-period sabers.
What steel options appear in this category?
Many dao use high-manganese or pattern steel. Filter by steel on the shop, or open the High Manganese Steel and Pattern Steel archives.
Can I customize length, scabbard, or engraving?
Yes—submit details on the custom order page. Engraved pieces follow the non-returnable custom policy noted on that form.
How long does shipping take?
Plan on workshop handling plus transit; international timelines are summarized on Shipping and FAQs.
