"I am well pleased with this sword. My only complaint lies within the hand guards. When doing vertical axial swings left to right. The extra length hand guards tend to want to dig into the shoulders."
"Just received this blade. Very heavy, it is more of an axe than a sword. It is unlikely that the Chinese peasant dao contained so much steel. There are more imperfections: carbon forge residue on the blade, (which was easily cleaned), blade rings not entirely closed (no big deal). Both imperfections probably reflect the history and construction of this dao. The scabbard is adequate but complicated to use with three closure points. I think I would have preferred a well-built nylon scabbard. With these imperfections, I still cannot dislike this blade. It is unique, historically unique, ... and I really like this thing. It is definitely a weapon - not a display piece. I just can't find enough dislikes to not give it 5 stars."
"I give it a 7 out of 10. For the price i would love to have seen a little more love put into this product. Half of the rings arent fully closed and the blade looks like its been sitting on a work bench for a year or two Still eye catching from a distance and still sturdy and sharp. Thats a bonus in my book. Also, i'll say the wrapping on the handle is pretty cool. Cant wait to see how long it holds up."
"Sharper than ginsu! Boys I’ll tell usb this thing will slice a 4x4 in one blow!"
