The Tang Heng Dao served as China’s premier sword during its Golden Age before the Japanese Katana became popular. The Tang Dynasty created this “Horizontal Saber” which stands as the highest achievement of Chinese military power during that time. The Tang Dao sword features a straight narrow blade which enables users to penetrate through armor and slice through extreme resistance.
The Tang Dao sword operates on a different combat environment than other swords because it was created for fighting against armored opponents. The sword features a straight chisel-ground blade which enables users to penetrate through leather and iron armor while maintaining their ability to execute powerful chopping attacks.
