Greetings,
Im looking for some more info on this sword if the community has any, and what it might be worth, any and all help is very appreciated!
I received this sword as a gift not too long ago and I have pretty much 0 info on it, so far what ive found myself is that its a chinese liuye dao ( or at least i think ) i dont know where it was forged, however I am almost certain its made from fairly good materials, i believe the blade is carbon steel, it is sharp, and the wood scabbard is very pretty in person, its seen some use as far as i can tell which would make sense because this person was a kung fu teacher for quite some time, theres some tarnish on the last several inches of the blade towards the tip, and some of the metal fittings on the scabbard look like they were either glued back on or glued in the first place however theres no looseness to any of it in the sword or scabbard everythings very tight, the fit inside the scabbard is very snug with no rattle whatsoever, i have not attempted to take it apart or cut anything with it, it does have a blood groove
Thank you!
