Ming Dynasty Sabre: LKChen YanLingDao Review

A review of one of my personal favorite production model swords! The Yan-Ling-Dao or "Goose Feather Sabre" was used as a standard infantry sidearm for hundreds of years across the Ming-Qing dynasties. https://lkchensword.com/yan-ling-dao For great discussion on the history see this awesome video by the Scholargeneral    • LK Chen Taiyang Yanlingdao Review 正楷太陽雁翎刀評測   and if you'd like to see a much better demonstration of its cutting performance be sure to catch Aikidoka    • Review and testing of the Yan Ling Dao fro...   If you want to continue learning about swords and sword related topics I highly recommend the Patreon of my colleague Matthew Forde. He has a wealth of knowledge of British military history and beyond. Subscription is well worth it and features book reviews, case studies, interviews with experts, and articles from guest authors (including the occasional ramblings of Dlatrex).   / matthewforde
