Chinese 2 handed broadsword (Dai Do / Da Dao).

I did the custom wraps, guard, and ring pommel. Also ground off the live edge for safety when practicing. Both swords are typical/"regulation" military size and weight at 3.5 pounds.

This sword was used by military in the Sino-Japanese war, mainly against rifles and bayonets. Also used by militia.

My great-grandteacher along with others, taught this weapon to the military. This sword was particularly famous for use in defense of the Great Wall (battle of Xifeng Kou).

A training manual by my grandteacher.

Mostly dealing with my 89 yo mom's not so great health.

I did do a partial overhaul on the Mustang transmission in January, and installed a watts link a couple weeks ago.
