Brief introduction of Tangdao

Tangdao and han dao are different concepts, because composite steel technology is not widely used in han dao. With the strong national strength and the extensive use of composite steel in the Tang Dynasty, tangdao made a qualitative leap. China tangdao technology has not been lost, and the process of covering the soil and burning the edge of Baotou Steel was produced in Hebei Province in the 1960s and 1970s. Up to now, Tianjin still has special quenching handed down by the master.

Tangdao refers to the sword of the Tang Dynasty. The early style is not much different from that of the Sui Dynasty, and it mostly refers to the horizontal knife. Judging from the decoration, it is not necessarily the Central Plains style. The prosperity of Arab culture in West Asia has an important influence on Tangdao. Japanese knives did not affect the development of tangdao.
