The Hanwei Pudao Chinese Martial Arts Weapon by Paul Chen was originally an infantry weapon and has been adopted into the martial arts and its use in the hands of a skilled practitioner is spectacular. Our Pudao is a weapon to be coveted by infantry of old and modern martial artists alike. The high-carbon tempered steel blade has an aggressive distal taper to promote quickness and balance and a long tang for strength, while the oak staff is tightly tape wrapped in a traditional pattern to optimize handling and adds to the distinctive appearance, as do the dragon-head bronzed steel blood cup and bell tassel.
