Eastern Dadao sword

The Dadao is a heavy single edged eastern infantry sword made in the late 9th century and used in india and rarely in mongolia and turkey. The weapon resembles a long and skinny cleaver but with a serrated blade. The blade is also somewhat thick which is where most of its weight comes from. the blade also often features a long open slit in the back of the blade which the hand can be placed for better control of the weapon. The blade itself starts off somewhat close to a longswords width and slowly gets bigger the further up it goes and is usually about 48ins with a 14in handle usually made of wood and wrapped in sheep or deer skin.The blade is usually made of iron although it sometimes is made with timnmate with both being okey conductors but often being enchanted with fire or illusion magic with faith being a bit of a rarity. The weapon is best for slashing, crowd control, and open field combat.
