Tang Heng Dao Xiu Chun Dao 112cm High Manganese Steel Unsharpened Saber with Leather Scabbard

This integrated Tang Dynasty-style sword, known as the Tang Heng Dao or Xiu Chun Dao (Embroidered Spring Saber), is a faithful reproduction of a classical Chinese single-edged weapon. The blade is made from high manganese steel and is left unsharpened, making it suitable for display, collection, or training practice. At 112cm overall length, it recreates the balanced proportions of the original battlefield saber. The solid wood scabbard covered in leather adds historical authenticity while protecting the blade.

Features and Construction

Every component has been selected to match the visual character of a Tang Dynasty military weapon. The materials and build prioritise accurate appearance and safe handling over sharp-edged functionality.

Material and Build

The blade is forged from high manganese steel, a material commonly used in modern reproduction swords for its ability to hold shape and take a polish. The fittings are cast alloy, providing consistent detailing on the guard and pommel. The scabbard core is solid wood wrapped in leather, giving a firm, tactile finish that echoes period construction methods.

Size and Practical Fit

Overall length measures 112cm, with the blade accounting for 73cm and the handle 38cm. Blade width is 3.8cm and thickness is 0.5cm. Total weight is 1.75kg. These dimensions suit one-handed or two-handed use for training drills, and the unsharpened edge reduces cutting risk during handling.

Uses and Placement

This sword serves multiple roles for enthusiasts of Chinese martial history. Its design is based on the Tang Heng Dao, a type used by cavalry and infantry during the Tang period.

Event or Professional Use

Re-enactors, historical interpreters, and martial arts practitioners can use this unsharpened sword for training forms, display, or costume completion. The solid wood and leather scabbard allows safe carrying in historical contexts.

Everyday Home Use

As a decorative piece, the sword adds a focal point to a study, collection cabinet, or themed room. The high manganese steel blade takes a bright polish that contrasts with the leather-wrapped scabbard.

Benefits and Buying Value

This reproduction offers a practical entry point for anyone interested in Tang Dynasty weapons without the cost or risk of a functional sharp-edged blade.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The unsharpened blade requires minimal care beyond occasional oiling and dry storage. The leather scabbard and alloy fittings hold up well under normal display conditions.

Why Choose This Product

If you need a visually accurate Tang Heng Dao that can be handled safely for training or displayed without hazard, this integrated sword provides the correct proportions and materials at a reasonable specification. The high manganese steel construction and solid wood scabbard give it a substantial feel that lighter replicas lack.
