The Extra Fancy Miao Dao by the Shen family blade is hollow ground high carbon steel. It has a round spine which starts at 3/8" thick tapering to the tip. This makes the Mia Dao's blade light yet stiff. The blade is not sharpened but can be sharpened to hold a live edge. The engraving on the blade is Miao Dao in Chinese characters. Miao is one the 72 tribes of China. The handle and scabbard are made of a rich brown pear blossom wood with polished solid brass fittings. Each Extra Fancy Mia Dao comes with a free carrying case that cannot be returned for an exchange.
