CAS Hanwei Dadao (big sword)
Long the traditional weapon of China's peasant
armies, the Dadao, or big sword, was used with deadly
effect as late as the 1930's in the Sino-Japanese War.
Its single- or two-handed versatility, combined with the
tremendous slashing power of its weight-forward blade
made it the ideal close-quarters weapon. Although the
originals had no scabbard, a simple carrying case is
provided for protection and ease of transportation.
