Punished by the gods for his overindulgence, as a warning to others the gods took away the body and jaw of TheTaotie (gluttonous monster) so all he could do was eat constantly, leaving nothing but a head and gaping mouth. The artisans of Dragon King conceived this new take on this ancient warning in the form of the Taotie Jian. The classic zoomorphic head motif is featured embossed on the pommel and the guard. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"71\" data-start=\"36\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 37 3\/4\" blade's 7\" ricasso (3\/8\" thick at base) reinforces the overall strength for powerful thrusts and blocks.
