k so im confused. cold steel has a section of their site specifically for discontinued items

and this isnt there.

[Frankdude72]

@yourlitlesister It was discontinued 5+ years ago.

Their stock has long ago sold out.

Can't seem to find this on the cold steel site, where did you find it?

[Frankdude72]

@Damienx247 It was discontinued years ago.

It seems cold steel doesn't know much about their weapons, that's actually a Dadao (also known as a Guandao, for it's association with Guan Yu, even though he used a spear.)

A Podao (Pudao is not the correct spelling), would have had a much longer blade and a shorter handle (about two feet in length).

It was an anti-cavalry weapon, typically used for chopping the legs of horses (since the rest of their bodies were armoured.)

[Frankdude72]

Actually Cold Steel didn't call it that.

If you're right then you'll need to correct the entire internet as well as some books I own by Kung Fu Grand Masters.

Funny how how everybody but you says a Da Dao is the 2 handed chopper sword, Pu Dao is a glaive like in the video, and a Kwan Dao is what you're referring to to.

Maybe you're right, but do you mind stating your credentials / sources? You have a uphill battle establishing creds.

I not saying this to be funny u have absolutely no skill in using that weapon You swung it like a 1st grade girl swings a lead baseball bat. I have cut door of of cars with a combat steel kwan dao and you barley mad it through a box. the blunt side can crack a shin bone with no effort on a back swing Rule #! never make a video with a martial art weapon you have no idea how to use.

[Taud]

funny looks like a kwan do to me

[TheMHandDSfan]

@Kisk79 yea for sure. let me look it up and i'll send ya the link.

[Kisk79]

@TheMHandDSfan I'm on Sword Forum International actually. But Guan Yu using a Guan Dao is inconsistent of what historians and archaeologists know about Han and Three Kingdoms weapons. I don't know what art you're talking about though because it only appears in illustrations during the Song. And depictions in art from the 3K, or even the Tang are non-existent. I'd like to read this thread though (some reason I can't find it). Could you send the link in a private message?
