The Draw
The draw on these Dadao is pretty easy and simple. There are a few little factors that help.
The leather scabbard is not rigid so the draw doesn't have to be a long straight draw of the full length...more of a roll out effect than a straight line effect.
The scabbards are fully open across the spine region with just 2 very small clips.
In military excursions, they are slung on the shoulder for marching and are a secondry weapon in these 20th century pictures. In combat they are known to have discarded the scabbard and sling and most other items before getting medieval on their enemy.
