The Oxtail Saber was used predominantly by martial artists rather than the military, making the design difficult to attribute to a specific time period.  Nevertheless, the Oxtail Saber is the most popular and recognizable of the Chinese broadswords.  The Dynasty Forge Oxtail Saber is forged from 1095/1085/1060 high-carbon steel.  The sheath is hand-carved from hardwood while the handle features a hardwood core wrapped in green cord.  The fittings are based on an antique specimen attributed to the Qing Dynasty and have a highly stylized floral motif.
