Long the traditional weapon of China's peasant armies, the Dadao, or big sword, was used with deadly effect as late as the 1930's in the Sino-Japanese War. Its single or two-handed versatility, combined with the tremendous slashing power of its weight-forward blade made it the ideal close-quarters weapon. Although the originals had no scabbard, a simple carrying case is provided for protection and ease of transportation.
