Dragon Xiuchun Dao – High-Manganese Steel Chinese Saber

Hand-finished in Longquan, this Xiuchun-style Chinese Dao pairs a quenched, unsharpened high-manganese steel blade with silver-tone dragon-relief fittings and a natural rosewood scabbard. Its gently curved saber profile, sculpted metal-look handle, and coordinated scabbard hardware create a striking presentation for responsible adult collection, cultural display, photography, gifting, supervised stage presentation, and controlled non-contact forms.

Specifications

Measurement note: The supplied 70 cm blade length and 24 cm handle length total 94 cm, which does not reconcile with the listed 110 cm overall length. Confirm all measurement points and the scope of the 1.70 kg weight before activating the listing.

Materials and Construction

The blade is supplier-listed as hand forged from high-manganese steel and heat treated through quenching. The exact steel grade, hardness, tang construction, and blade-mounting method have not been supplied and are therefore not represented as confirmed performance specifications.

The silver-tone fittings are supplier-listed as aluminum alloy and feature raised dragon ornamentation. The handle has a coordinated sculpted metal appearance, but its exact core material has not been separately specified. The matching scabbard is supplier-listed as rosewood and includes coordinated decorative hardware.

Blade Geometry

A gently curved point and long recessed blade channels create the visual profile of a Chinese Dao. These channels are described as geometric blade features only; no quantified balance, cutting, speed, or durability claim is made from their presence.

Dragon-Relief Design

Dragon motifs appear across the handle and scabbard fittings, creating a unified silver-tone presentation. The details are described as relief decoration because the supplied information does not confirm whether they are hand engraved, machine engraved, or cast.

Historical Positioning

This product is a newly manufactured Xiuchun-style Chinese Dao using contemporary dragon-themed ornamentation. It is not represented as an antique, archaeological artifact, or museum-certified reproduction of a specific historical saber. No specific dynasty provenance claim is made.

Longquan Craft Tradition

The supplier describes the blade as hand forged in Longquan using methods associated with the region's sword-making tradition. Longquan sword forging is included in China's national intangible cultural heritage catalogue. That recognition applies to the traditional craft project and should not be interpreted as individual certification of this product.
