The LOONGSWORD Red Dragon Tang Dao combines a supplier-listed high-carbon steel blade with a vivid red-black decorative pattern, a sculpted dragon-themed handle, and a matching synthetic-leather-wrapped wood scabbard. Its straight Chinese Dao profile and coordinated dark-red presentation make it suitable for responsible adult collection, cultural display, photography, gifting, and controlled non-contact forms after inspection.

Specifications

Measurement warning: The listed 67 cm blade and 32 cm handle total 99 cm, which does not reconcile with the listed 107 cm overall length. Confirm every measurement point before changing this product from Draft to Active.

Red-Black Decorative Blade

The high-carbon steel blade displays an ornamental red-and-black surface pattern across the main blade body, contrasted by a lighter polished-looking edge area. The exact process has not been supplied, so the pattern is not represented as folded steel, Damascus grain, natural hamon, clay tempering, laser engraving, or hand etching.

Color intensity and pattern placement may vary slightly between handmade production batches and under different lighting conditions.

Handle Materials and Construction

The supplier describes the handle as combining polyethylene terephthalate, commonly abbreviated PET, with high-carbon steel. Product imagery supports a molded, sculpted outer grip with black-and-red dragon-themed reliefs. It does not reveal how the PET components attach to the internal steel structure or how the pommel is retained.

Tang construction is supplier-listed as full tang. The internal tang length, thickness, fasteners, end cap, and locking method should be inspected before presenting Full Tang as a verified structural feature.

Wrapped Wood Scabbard

The matching scabbard combines a wood core with a red-black synthetic-leather covering. Its glossy crackle-style appearance coordinates with the blade and handle while protecting the blade during responsible storage and display.

Contemporary Tang Dao Presentation

This is a newly manufactured Chinese Tang Dao using contemporary dragon-themed ornamentation. It is not represented as an authenticated Tang Dynasty antique, a museum-certified replica, or an exact reproduction of a documented historical sword.

No such claim is made. The blade is supplier-listed as high-carbon steel with a decorative red-black surface pattern. The exact finishing method has not been specified.

Is the blade sharpened?

The supplied specifications do not confirm the edge condition. Confirm that the current production batch is unsharpened before activating the listing.
