Specifications

Measurements and weight are approximate. Minor variation may occur because of handcrafted fittings and natural wood characteristics.

Double-Ended Blade Configuration

This Yue Ya Chan uses two different stainless steel head profiles. The broad spade-shaped end features decorative circular cutouts, while the opposite end forms a sweeping crescent blade. Together they create the recognizable double-ended silhouette of a traditional crescent spade.

Solid Wood Two-Section Pole

The pole is made from solid wood rather than stainless steel. Its two-section construction reduces shipping length and makes storage more practical. Metal sleeves reinforce the connecting areas and provide a coordinated transition between the wood pole and the metal head fittings.

Before every practice session, both wood sections must be joined fully and the connection must be checked for movement or looseness.
