The dadao is one of the traditional weapons of China's peassant armies,
the Dadao or fighting sword was used with deadly effect al late as the
1930's in the Sino-Japanese war.
Most of these swords were made for military use, but they were also easay
to be foubd within civilian militias or revolutionaries. It's not a very
sophisticated sword and it doesn't feature nice fittings such as we can
find on the Jian or the regulaar Dao. The balance and especially the weihgt
of thi dadao is giving it considerable choppin and slashing power, which
results in an effective close combat weapon.
