This listing is marked SOLD and is no longer available
Hello!
I am selling this example of LK Chen's Infantry Dao.
This Sword is the one that Skallagrim reviewed, who then sold it to me. As stated in his video, some of the brass fittings did come loose, but I repaired them with glue provided by LK Chen, and have had no issues since. The blade is Sharp. With no bends, no chips, or rolls in the edge. Just some light surface scratches. Comes with Scabbard, and silk bag that the sword originally came with. The glue that LK Chen sent along to fix the fittings can be sent along as well if you want them.
