The Copper-Clad Recurved Tang Sword Dragon and Phoenix Sandalwood is a premium handcrafted full tang Chinese collector sword combining four exceptional elements: a Damascus steel blade, copper cladding, a recurved Tang dao form, and a Dragon and Phoenix sandalwood handle. A sword of extraordinary visual richness and cultural depth. Ships from US warehouse.
Four Elements of Excellence
The recurved form is one of the most distinctive blade shapes in the Chinese sword tradition — a blade that curves backward from the tip, creating a profile of unusual visual drama while enhancing cutting geometry. The Damascus steel blade brings the ancient art of pattern-welded steel to this form — flowing, organic patterns creating extraordinary visual beauty. Copper cladding covers the fittings in warm, ornate copper — one of the most ancient and prized metals in Chinese decorative culture. The Dragon and Phoenix sandalwood handle is the most auspicious handle material in Chinese collector sword design, representing the perfect union of complementary forces through the warm, fragrant beauty of sandalwood.
Tang Dao Tradition
The Tang dao is the single-edged sword of the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE) — a blade tradition that influenced sword design across East Asia. In the recurved copper-clad form with Dragon and Phoenix sandalwood, it becomes a statement of premium collector taste at the pinnacle of the range.
