Sword Review - Hanwei Oxtail Broadsword (niuweidao)

#dao #swordreview #hanwei

I review the Hanwei Oxtail Broadsword (a niuweidao) that I received in one of my Kult of Athena mystery crates. These 19th Century civilian swords were designed as efficient cutters, and bear a lot of resemblance to Medieval falchions.

Buy this niuweidao at Kult of Athena! https://www.kultofathena.com/product/...
