It is a newly manufactured Chinese martial arts polearm inspired by traditional Guandao styling rather than a museum-certified reproduction of a specific historical weapon.

Care Instructions

Wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth after handling and apply a thin coat of metal-safe maintenance oil regularly. Pay particular attention to the blade surface, cutting edge, decorative artwork, and the area around the head fitting.

Keep the carbon steel pole clean and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the golden finish. Store the Guandao in a cool, low-humidity environment away from prolonged moisture and excessive heat.
