awesome

[@MrJayGoliath]

Very nice blade. 😊

Lovely Ilocano blade sir

[@tuanvuanh742]

That's a powerful blade!

[@mulli032]

the “clipped” tip also makes them look like Song Dynasty dao

[@the.wandering.warrior]

a little bit, yeah - though the story of how each became the way they are is probably very different. I think Song era dao was part of reforms to their mass manufacturing of weapons, most with Jurchen and Mongol armies in mind.

No need for unnecessary motion, any of my kitchen knives will do it 😂
