An explosive cutter in a small package! It took out that 1" bone dry bamboo with only a little extra effort; from working with dry bamboo as a target material, that's fairly impressive. No edge roll, blade bend, just a bit of scratching on the polish.
It packs a punch for It's size, and the POB makes it very comfortable to use, and facilitates circular cuts exceedingly well.

"Wo Yao Dao (Japanese style waist saber) is a single handed saber. It has a slender profile, with an accelerated curve towards the tip, which is typical for Ming to early Qing sabers. It has a ridged cross-section, much in the style of Japanese swords but without the kissaki that is so characteristic for Japanese work.
