Dragon Tiger Qing Dao – Etched Steel Saber with Rosewood Scabbard

Hand-finished in Longquan, this Dragon Tiger Qing Dao combines a broad single-edged blade with continuous decorative etching, a supplier-listed rosewood handle and scabbard, and antique-tone zinc-alloy fittings. Its compact Qing-inspired profile is designed for responsible adult collection, cultural display, photography, gifting, and controlled non-contact forms after inspection.

Key Features

• Qing-inspired Dao profile: A compact Chinese single-edged saber with a broad blade and angular clipped-style point.
• Decoratively etched blade: Continuous scroll and animal-inspired motifs extend along the blade surface.
• Dragon-and-tiger presentation: Sculpted animal reliefs appear across the fittings and scabbard hardware.
• Rosewood presentation: The handle and matching wood scabbard are supplier-listed as rosewood; exact botanical species is not specified.
• Antique-tone fittings: Supplier-listed zinc-alloy components use a dark gold and bronze-style finish.
• Longquan origin: Newly manufactured and hand-finished in Longquan, Zhejiang, China.

Specifications

Specification note: The supplied material description alternates between high-carbon and high-manganese steel and must be confirmed before publication. The listed blade and handle lengths total 75 cm, compared with the 83 cm overall length; confirm all measurement points.

Materials and Construction

The blade is supplier-described as handmade and heat treated. However, the supplied records identify it as both high-carbon steel and high-manganese steel. Because these are not interchangeable material descriptions, the public listing uses the neutral term “steel” until the actual material and grade are confirmed.

The handle and scabbard are supplier-listed as rosewood. The exact botanical species, finish, and sourcing documentation have not been supplied. Antique-tone zinc-alloy hardware coordinates the guard, collar, pommel, scabbard throat, central fitting, and end cap.

Decorative Etched Blade

Continuous etched ornamentation follows the upper blade surface, adding contrast against the polished lower section. The pattern is decorative and is not represented as folded-steel grain, Damascus patterning, natural hamon, or evidence of a particular heat-treatment result.

Dragon and Tiger Theme

Animal-inspired reliefs across the blade and fittings create the product's Dragon Tiger presentation. This is a newly manufactured, Qing-inspired collector Dao rather than a museum-certified reproduction of a specific Qing-dynasty artifact.
