Hi Thana - I'm currently dadao-less. My plan is to get the Hanwei Military Dadao this fall using birthday money. Too many good reviews, the size/weight sounds ideal, it has that nice sheath, and the review onsite shows the solid tang construction which is comforting.

I bought this instead: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4684

I'm still happy with this dao. I've cut up to 1/2" branches with it and a ton of thick cardboard (sword box...and recently a box used to carry a steel hammock stand with hammock - that was one thick box!). The blade has held it's edge now that I have it well sharpened, and no damage or bending at all. I'm sure it's no where near as well made as a more expensive dao, but it's a bargain for the $65 I paid and definitely good for cutting.

Kult of Athena has very good price on the military Da dao. I like the leather scabbard a lot because it look authentic and very functional .

I have seen this Qin dao on e-bay for a while but I fear it would not make a good cutter and I have way too many dull Da Dao to deal with at present time so I better learn how to make a good keen edge on dao before getting another one

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
