Thanks for the picture and the account of the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident," as well as the fighting philosophy of this weapon; I suspected that this could be the case.

the Photo of the dadao carry looked odd to me. Hilt over the right shoulder looks better....

Look at the rifle bolt, the original posted photo is the right way round. |

 the Original photo is right way around, I still would prefer the hilt over the right shoulder tho.It seems to be optional. p.s. - Viet DaDao tend to have very abbreviated guards (and decorated blades). Last edited by kronckew; 15th April 2020 at 05:34 AM. |

A nice classic example of the genre, thanks for sharing the pic. It has a guard of sorts, rather small, serving more to keep the user's hand fro sliding up onto the edge. The appearance of such a rudimentary guard on a Vietnamese weapon may be influenced by small or absent guards on a number of other SE Asian edged weapons such as dhas, barongs, and the like.
