POB for Wooden Dao

Post by ynze » Sun Oct 19, 2008 10:56 am

I own a wooden liuye dao made by Raven Studio.
I was wondering if the spec's are in line with reality.

The length of the grip is aprox 19cm/7.5inch, bladelength is aprox 75cm/29.5inch and POB aprox 16,5cm/6.5inch from the guard.

Anybody got an idea???

thanx Ynze

That generally sounds about right, if anything, it could be a bit closer further out. What blade type is it?

Some I wrote bade, when I meant blade... which Raven Dao did you get?

I have the Liu Ye Dao.
Blade is hickory. The guard is a special heavy guard made by a dutch guy: Jan Douwes (Joppe's father) after I broke it during sparring. I reported it to Raven Studio and she told me she would improve the guards.
