The Deer Horn Knives (Lu Jiao Dao / #鹿角刀) are one of the most unusual weapons in Chinese martial arts.
Small, curved, and always used in pairs — they were designed for close-range trapping, control, and disarming.

In this video I cover:
• A short history
• How the weapon is built
• Why it’s associated with Baguazhang
• Light sparring test

⚠️ I’m not a Deer Horn practitioner — this was my first time handling them.
This video is for exploration and entertainment, not a tutorial.
All sparring was controlled and done with safety in mind.

If you enjoy traditional martial arts weapons, let me know which one I should explore next.
