The Wenchan Tang Dao combines a straight patterned blade, a decorated ring pommel, and a reddish-brown Longfengtan wood scabbard. Its twisted folded steel grain and finely carved brass fittings give collectors distinct details to explore.
Materials and craftsmanship
Twisted folded steel blade: Hand-forged from folded patterned steel, twisted during forging, and finely ground by hand. Supplied unsharpened.
Carved brass fittings: Finely carved and polished, then given an antiqued finish that brings out the engraved details.
Longfengtan wood scabbard: Reddish-brown wood paired with matching brass mounts.
Design details
An angled blade tip, a decorated guard, a reddish-brown grip, and a ring pommel define the Tang-style silhouette.
