Chinese Straight Saber in TV Series? Oct 10, 2017 17:27:30 GMT

Katana seem to go out of fashion in TV Series.
In Dark Matter and Into the Badlands I've seen straight single edged swords or sabers which I assume are of Chinese origin.
Also I've seen Lancelot Chan use such swords in his clips.

What's the name of this sword/saber, looking like a straight katana a bit?
After a little search I think they might be "Zhibeidao", or is there a modern name, ... or am I totally wrong (not unusual)??

Tibet sword was also straight dao. Qing dynasty beidao was also relative straight. Plus there're Korean sword that were straight dao shape.

The first link I knew already, it brought me to the Zhibeidao. Tangdao has an interesting connection to the early straight Japanese Chokuto swords. All those are relative old sword designs.

Sorry cannot remember the names.

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

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 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
