Modern Chinese Dadao – “Xibei 29” Military Tribute Sword with Scabbard

This striking modern replica of the Chinese dadao (大刀) pays homage to the legendary blades wielded by Chinese troops and militias during the early 20th century. Featuring a broad, curved blade and double hook guard, this sword is both a visual statement and a piece of martial heritage.

Emblazoned on the scabbard are the characters “西北二十九” (Xibei 29) — a likely reference to the 29th Army of the Northwest Army, a well-known Chinese military unit that famously resisted Japanese aggression during the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937. The design evokes the spirit of Chinese resistance during the Republican era.
