Khitan Liao Da Dao
辽契丹大刀
This is a reproduction of a piece of Khitan Liao Dao first to be published in 2016 at an Artworks Exhibition in China. It is the 5th. replica of Liao Dynasty cold weapons that we have introduced, following the Khitan Liao straight sword, curved sword, double-edged sword, and sword breaker. It is also a unique product of its kind currently available in the market.
Such a special asymmetric guard was often found in the Chinese Song period (10-13 AD) Dao, which was possibly influenced by the northern nomad. The guard naturally fits the shape of the hand, which improves the protection of the knuckles. Additionally, it is more convenient to wear as the side without protrusion reduces the width of the guard against the body, allowing it to fit closely when carried. The asymmetric design also facilitates distinguishing the direction of the blade edge during nighttime.
Combined with the raised mountain-shaped guard, even in the absence of light, simply by touching the raised guard, one can accurately ensure that the blade edge faces outward when gripping it.
