About LOONGSWORD
Welcome to LOONGSWORD—where millennia-old tradition meets modern mastery. Born in China’s legendary Longquan region, each of our blades is more than a tool; it’s a living tribute to the heritage, artistry, and spirit of the world’s foremost sword-making craftsmen.
Our Heritage
Longquan Ancient City, nestled in Zhejiang Province, has been revered since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for producing China’s finest swords and knives. Here, the clang of hammer on steel has echoed through centuries, as generations of master smiths refined time-honored techniques. LOONGSWORD carries forward this legacy, preserving an unbroken chain of knowledge passed down from master to apprentice for over 2,500 years.
Hand-Forged Craftsmanship
At LOONGSWORD, every blade is meticulously crafted by hand. Our artisans:
Select premium steel—from high-carbon to exquisite Damascus—each billet is rigorously tested for purity and resilience.
Layer and fold the metal using traditional clay-tempering methods, producing the signature hamon (temper line) that defines the blade’s beauty and strength.
Polish and finish by hand, revealing the subtle wave-pattern grain unique to each sword, and ensuring a razor-sharp edge that balances durability with elegance.
Material Excellence
We source only the highest-grade materials:
Tamahagane & High-Carbon Steel for battle-ready performance
Damascus Steel for stunning visual patterns
Stainless Steel options for low-maintenance display pieces
Every component—from blade to handle fittings—is chosen for its quality, ensuring each LOONGSWORD piece endures both use and time.
Cultural Legacy & Innovation
A sword in Chinese culture is more than a weapon—it’s a symbol of power, honor, and wisdom. LOONGSWORD honors this tradition by:
Incorporating ancient motifs & calligraphy in our designs
Blending modern ergonomics, forging lighter, faster blades for martial arts practitioners
Collaborating with contemporary artists to create limited-edition collector’s pieces
Through each creation, we share the rich narrative of Chinese sword making with a global audience.
