The scabbard, constructed from solid wood with a leather cover, completes the period appearance while protecting the blade. Whether displayed on a stand, used in practice drills, or carried for costume events, this sword provides a practical and visually accurate addition to any collection.

Features and Construction

Every element of this sword has been built to reflect the Tang Dynasty horizontal sword form while remaining safe for unsharpened use. The construction uses materials chosen for strength and visual authenticity.

Material and Build

The blade is forged from 65 manganese steel, a high-manganese alloy known for its toughness and resistance to deformation under stress. The unsharpened edge ensures that the sword can be handled, moved, and displayed without the cutting hazard of a combat-ready blade. The solid wood core of the scabbard is wrapped in leather, giving it a traditional appearance that matches the period style.

Size and Practical Fit

At 105cm overall, the sword suits adult users for two-handed practice, ceremonial display, or costume wear. The handle measures 30cm, providing enough length for a comfortable grip. The blade width of 3.2cm and thickness of 0.5cm give the sword a substantial but not overly heavy profile, contributing to its balanced weight of 1.2kg.

Uses and Placement

This sword is designed for scenarios where a realistic historical appearance is required but a sharp blade is not appropriate or permitted. It fits naturally into several contexts.

Event or Professional Use

For re-enactors, living history interpreters, and stage performers, the unsharpened blade reduces risk during choreographed sequences and public handling. The leather-covered scabbard adds authenticity to costume kits while keeping the sword secure when not in use.

Everyday Home Use

As a display piece, the sword brings a strong visual accent to a study, living room, or collection cabinet. Its weight and length allow it to be mounted on a wall rack or stand, where it serves as a conversation piece. The scabbard protects the blade from dust and minor impacts.

Benefits and Buying Value

Choosing a collection-grade unsharpened sword offers practical advantages over a sharpened equivalent, especially for those who prioritise display, training, or safety.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Because the blade is not sharpened, it requires less frequent edge maintenance and is less prone to accidental damage during handling. The manganese steel resists rust when kept dry, and the scabbard provides ongoing protection. A simple wipe after handling is usually sufficient to keep the sword in good condition.

Why Choose This Product

This sword combines a historically inspired Tang Dynasty form with practical materials and a no-sharpen safety feature. The integration of a solid wood and leather scabbard, a 105cm overall length, and a 65 manganese steel blade gives collectors and practitioners a reliable, good-looking piece that performs well in its intended role without unnecessary complication.
