Specifications

Specification note: Supplier-listed measurements may vary slightly between handmade production batches. Confirm the assembled length, product net weight, shaft section count, connector design, and edge condition before activating this listing.

Blade and Shaft Construction

The crescent blade is supplier-listed as high-manganese steel. Product imagery shows a polished silver-tone surface, an upswept point, a hooked rear profile, and multiple decorative grooves. The exact steel grade, hardness, heat treatment, edge condition, and blade-to-shaft mounting structure have not been supplied.

The shaft components are supplier-listed as stainless steel. The product image shows a sectional presentation, but the exact number of sections, connector type, locking system, steel grade, wall thickness, and solid-versus-hollow construction must be confirmed before handled use.

Guan Dao Form and Presentation

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

Assembly Guidance

1. Lay every blade, shaft, connector, collar, and end component on a stable surface.
2. Inspect each connector for dents, damaged threads, cracks, deformation, or missing locking parts.
3. Align every shaft section carefully and avoid cross-threading or forcing components together.
4. Seat and secure each connector using only the locking method supplied with the product.
5. Confirm that no joint gap, rotation, looseness, or movement remains after assembly.
6. Do not lift or handle the assembled Guan Dao dynamically until all components are fully secured.

Inspection Before Display or Forms

• Treat the delivered blade as potentially sharp until its edge condition is confirmed.
• Inspect the blade for shipping damage, bending, cracks, corrosion, or surface defects.
• Check the blade collar and blade-to-shaft connection for movement.
• Inspect every shaft joint and rear fitting before each handled session.
• Confirm that the assembled product matches the supplied length and remains straight.
• Stop handling immediately if any component shifts, rotates, rattles, bends, or loosens.

Training and Safety Notice

This is an unusually long metal-shaft polearm and requires substantial clear space. Any handled use should be limited to experienced adults under qualified supervision and 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 blade dry after handling and apply a thin coat of neutral mineral oil.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, fingerprints, salt, or harsh chemical cleaners.
• Wipe the stainless-steel shaft components dry after handling.
• Inspect sectional joints regularly for corrosion, wear, looseness, or thread damage.
• Clean gold-tone fittings with a soft dry cloth and avoid aggressive polishing compounds.
• Store the blade and shaft components securely inside the supplied bag in a dry location.

Safety and Legal Notice

Intended for responsible adult ownership. The buyer is responsible for complying with local ownership, transport, import, storage, and display regulations. Keep the product inaccessible to children and unauthorized users.
