Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow Review and Demo in Action!

 

Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow is one of the most affordable functional Chinese style ring dagger on the market. Even a cheapo Kung Fu PROP blade pair cost about the same price as one of these live-edge!  It's really the best deal out there!  For Kung Fu, I would love to weld two of these Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow together for my form!

The weight of these Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow is excellent for daily carry too. They are light weighted, thin, and very tough. I had dropped one of mine on the ground and the tip hits the ground right on, broke the tip a tiny bit, but not worry, I can always get that fixed up by rounding the tip off a bit, just like how swords are fixed sometimes, especially antique swords. A round tip is always stronger than the sharp tip, but it is less appealing to the eyes.

The group of these Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow is very much "plastic" but they can be removed with ease and you can mount anything on or even wrap it up with paracord if you like. Yes, you can slide the handle in a slotted dowel and make your own "spear" too!  This is the best part of this Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow, it's so raw, and so easy to mod!  The finish is very tough too, which means it's very scratch resistant!

Here is my take on the Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow, showing you a review and my Kung Fu demonstration by using these SHARP daggers.


I will give the Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow 10 out of 10 for what they cost and their quality. These are extremely good blades for their price. Just like all Cold Steel blades, they are build strong and tough, ready for any crazy abuse.  You might doubt their ability to cut when you handle them on day 1, because of their weight. Try cutting with them, slashing ropes and cardboards, you will surely change your mind. Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow, one of the best dagger out there you should get!
