Simon hit the nail on the head "wall hanger" and a nice one at that.

Here's an oldie but goodie:

Hopefully "Master Killer" won't wipe a booger on this one...

Hi, thanks for sharing your pics, I just received some new Daos today and thought you might like to see them. Unlike my old ones these are very sharp.
The comments here about blunt/sharp are interesting !.
Best wishes.

I still miss my Spring Autumn Sword. Got it in Longquan for cheap, heaviest blade I've ever swung.

Had to leave it in China when I came back to Canada because, heavy.

Will get it back from my inlaws if I decide to get a job in China next year.

Oh yeah, and you can get it from martialartsmart.com

This is another one we used in Taoism magic rituals too. It's the oldest one we bought and so I can tell you it have sustain through lots and lots of thrust too. This thing doesn't wobbles or anything, it's just as sturdy as it looks~ nice and very solid feeling! I just love the mid length swords so much.

of course, but don't you get the fact that most dragon well swords are like that nowadays? they put words of anything up on any blades by random too, that's how it is. Who will be so stupid to think they picked up a real Yue Wong's sword on the street for like $100 or something?! I think only idiots will think so! haha! Well, there are some typical words like : 七星劍, 太極劍, 青龍劍, ...etc,.. you can find these all over the place too.. so? They don't really mean anything.. it's just some words they put on for the sake of putting it up..............

oops

I meant all that glitters may not be pearl

all that shines may not be gold.

--

a real sharp or good sword is actually not shiny but with dull color

that was what I meant.

wow. any vampire or zombie slaying swords.
