Review: Ronin Elite Tang Dao (Chinese sword, 7th – 9th century)

I just want to use this sword to cut his beard off. (this is a joke)

this was the sidearm on tang dynasty army. mostly aiming for facing hard armor unit.

Actually this kind of knife, it is belong to the military, with durable and practical give priority to, sharpness is general, because the edge Angle.

Also, see some comments about the Chinese culture and history, mostly is wrong! ：(

"Dao" is more of a blade/ knife, not exactly the same as a sword "Jian". At least that's my understanding.

This is the ancestor of the Japanese sword, because when the ancient Japanese fought, few of soldiers had metal armor, so the Japanese Just need a sharper sword to kill the enemy more easily. SO,Katana is sharper

But Chinese soldiers need to break armor all the time during the war, which is the purpose of Tang Dao's design.

I m watching this video today in 2020 and decided to buy . But that IS ALREADY OUT OF STOCK LOL

This is not a traditional Tang Dao. A traditional Tang Dao has straight blade, this one looks like a combination of katana and Tang Dao. Also most traditional Tang Dao is a little shorter.
这不是传统的唐刀。传统的唐刀剑身是直的，这个看上去像日本武士刀和唐刀的结合… 而且传统唐刀会较短一些。

Tang dao is used to break armor, not to cut

Then the Chinese copied the Katana and created the Wo Dao and Miao Dao.

Dont mix japan with china. Ronin is fallen japanese samurai.

The grand father of the katana and a similar design sword in korea

Bullshit, the sword in the video is actually a modern fabrication. The Tang dao more known as kara-tachi stored in japan is straight as hell reflecting her central asian/sasanian connections

The katana's forerunner is

Written as 太刀, not 大刀

Is the guard big enough to prevent your hand from slipping up the blade?

The mother of katana in the dinasty tang age…!! Cz cinese is very old culture in hte wolrd i sure that

唐刀制作工艺先进，性能好！但是在战乱频繁的古代中国被淘汰了，因为频繁的战争相对便宜、制作周期短的廉价刀更适合装配军队。所谓，劣币驱逐良币！

唐横刀

Ancient Asian culture were all inspirational to each other, same to there weapon, I won't use the word 'copy', the tang Dao are kind relate to both Japanese and Mongolian sword. But yeah, tang Dao came out first.

There is a Tangdao in the exhibition in Japan. It was sent as a gift to the Japanese emissary back then, and I believe that one exhibited a curved edge.

I kinda wanna see a review for the Ronin Katana Euro 10

Sir how to purchase it?

I went to a medevil festival

they made great swords for under 400 dollars

If your sword breaks they promise to replace it

they we’re able to cut into iron anvil without chipping and venting

WARNING comment section sharper than any swords.

It is so beautiful! It is difficult to buy even in China!

The body of Tang Dao is not bent outward, but inward, which can increase the intensity of slaughter. This is contrary to the Japanese knife.

Sad, this is not a pure Tang Dao. A kind of mixture with katana.

The is not the real Tang Dao It's not really the same to the original Tang Dao because we lost the technology that people in Tang dynasty used to made the sword

Did you know that pizza was invented by the Chinese. Chinese pizza look very similar to Italian pizza except that it was made of rice flour, did not have cheese and tomato, and was steamed instead of baked like Italian pizza … Oh yeah, the toppings were sandwiched between two pieces of flat rice buns.
The Chinese also invented ketchup in 300BC with the main ingredient being fish and it was a brown liquid instead of red tomato paste.
Recently according to Chinese media, Xinhua, China invented the high-speed rail, electronic payment, bike sharing and online shopping.
