Dragon Guan Dao – High-Carbon Steel Chinese Polearm

Handmade in Longquan, Zhejiang, this full-length Chinese Guan Dao combines a quenched, unsharpened high-carbon steel crescent head with a stainless-steel pole, dragon-themed blade decoration, and supplier-listed alloy fittings. Measuring approximately 78.7 in (200 cm) when assembled, it offers a commanding presentation for responsible adult collection, cultural display, photography, supervised stage presentation, and carefully controlled non-contact forms.

Key Features

• Dragon-themed presentation: Contrasting dragon and character decoration is visible across the blade surface.

• Alloy fittings: Supplier-listed alloy decoration appears around the blade-to-pole transition.
• Longquan origin: Newly manufactured in Longquan, Zhejiang, China.

Specifications

Measurement note: The supplied inch values are rounded. Metric measurements are used as the primary reference. Product net weight, pole section count, connector design, and separate cutting-edge length have not been supplied.

Materials and Construction

The crescent head is made from supplier-listed high-carbon steel and has undergone quenching. It is supplied with an unsharpened edge. The precise steel grade, hardness, blade width, blade thickness, and internal head-mounting structure have not been specified.

The pole is supplier-listed as stainless steel. Product imagery shows separate pole components, but the exact number of sections, connector design, thread direction, locking method, steel grade, and solid or hollow construction require confirmation. The blade-to-pole fitting is supplier-listed as alloy.

Dragon Blade Presentation

A contrasting dragon motif and Chinese-character decoration extend across the broad blade surface. The application method has not been specified, so the design is not represented as hand engraving, inlay, etching, or precious-metal work.

Guan Dao Form

Also written as Guandao or Kwan Dao, this traditional Chinese polearm form is recognized by its broad crescent-shaped head mounted on a long shaft. This product is a newly manufactured interpretation rather than a museum-certified reproduction of a specific historical artifact.

Assembly Guidance

1. Lay all head, pole, connector, and end components on a stable surface.

Inspection Before Forms or Stage Use

Training and Safety Notice

This is an unusually long and heavy metal polearm requiring substantial clear space. Even with an unsharpened edge, its point, hooks, weight, and momentum can cause serious injury. Handled use should be limited to experienced adults under qualified supervision and performed only at low speed in a controlled, non-contact environment.

Do not use for contact sparring, target striking, uncontrolled swinging, self-defense, or unsupervised practice.

Care Instructions

• Wipe the high-carbon steel head dry after handling.
• Apply a thin coat of neutral mineral oil to the blade surface.
• Avoid prolonged moisture, fingerprints, salt, acids, and abrasive cleaners.
• Wipe the stainless-steel pole dry and inspect every joint regularly.
• Keep the cotton storage bag clean and completely dry.
• Store all components securely where children cannot access them.

Safety and Legal Notice

Intended for responsible adult ownership. The buyer is responsible for complying with local ownership, transport, import, storage, training, and display regulations.
