Hi Everybody
I was just wondering if anybody knows details about the Warlord Da Dao, like has anybody ever taken it apart? Is it full Tang?
And anybody know what kind of steel it's made from?
I am embarrassed to say I damaged mine ages ago with a stuffed up, horribly wonky side-stepping horizontal cut at against a pumpkin! The blade bent and the guard came loose! I could peek in through the guard and the tang looked really small to me...anyway I bent the blade back into shape and epoxied the guard together, and it has been cutting fine ever since...Luckily no more stuff ups on my part! *touch wood* ANd many pumpkins have been dispatched!
Anyway with such a hard core Dao (I've seen a video on youtube of a guy cutting part of a cinder block with it!, the video title says Cold Steel war sword, but it is obviously a Hanwei Warlord) I was surprised at how small the tang looked!
Anyway I haven't had any more issues, but in the back of my mind, with the previous damage and the peek at what to me looked like a small tang, I would hate for the Da Dao to become a flying guillotine/ helicopter of death!!
