3. Rapid Wind Halberd (PU DAO): Because the halberd blade is forged in the same way as the sword, it is considered a large saber. The use of this weapon is clear in its name.

A weapon difficult to handle weighs about 4-5kg and its use requires great skill and strength. It is indicated to cut heads or cut legs of horses. The nickname Laminate General is due to the fact that it was used by the Chinese martial arts patron (KUO SHU), General Guan Yu. And unlike Pu Dao, it can be used for stocking and hooking.
5. Dagger (BI SHOU) - In China, any weapons that resemble JIAN or DAO and are smaller than one forearm are called daggers. Because they are easy to conceal, they have always been associated with bohemians and bandits. They can be made of stone, bronze, iron, and steel.
