It's at the light end of the historical range (for oxtail dao/niuweidao of about that blade length), but still historically plausible.

Thanks, I may pick one of these up. For the price it looks like it's make a nice light cutter. stormmaster - well, kung fu actually is a Chinese term that originally referred to a skill or practice that required discipline and hard work to master. So I suppose the term being applied to a sword is kind of strange... "Practical Skill Acquired Through Rigorous Training Sword"?  |

I have one; it feels heavier in the hand than you'd think, but still a pretty nice blade. Crap scabbard, though.

Yeah, I heard the scabbard was rubbish. Which is too bad; aesthetically, it actually looks rather nice.

Aesthetically, it's quite nice, but no matter what you do, you can't really have a decent scabbard with an opening roughly 3/4 of its length. For what it's worth, though, it keeps it fairly secure provided you don't shake it around, but resheathing it is a chore. That said, I'm still planning to sell it so I can fund my purchase of their other Chinese "Broadsword", which I've been drooling over for about 14-ish years.
