The Scott Rodell Cutting Dao from CAS Hanwei is a purpose-designed Chinese sword created in collaboration with respected martial arts teacher and author Scott M. Rodell. Built for the discipline of cutting within Chinese sword arts, it combines practical blade geometry with clean traditional styling, making it an appealing choice for dedicated practitioners and collectors alike. The 29" blade is made from 5160 steel and benefits from CAS Hanwei’s specialist heat treatment regimen, developed to provide a useful balance of edge hardness and overall toughness. Its simple steel fittings keep the design uncluttered while remaining faithful to traditional Chinese aesthetics. A black leather-over-cranberry rayskin grip gives the handle a secure, refined feel, while the rosewood scabbard with matching fittings completes the presentation. With an overall length of 35 3/4" and a weight of 2 lb 3 oz, this dao offers a substantial yet controlled presence in hand.
