Specifications

Specification note: Supplier-listed measurements may vary slightly between handmade production batches. Confirm the assembled length, product net weight, pole configuration, and edge condition before activating the listing.

Materials and Construction

The crescent blade is supplier-listed as high-manganese steel with handmade forming and heat treatment. Its polished surface is accented by gold-tone decorative lines and scrollwork. The exact steel grade, blade hardness, and edge condition have not been provided and are not represented as confirmed performance specifications.

The pole is supplier-listed as stainless steel. Product imagery suggests a sectional configuration for storage and shipping, but the exact number of sections, connector design, wall thickness, and locking method must be confirmed. A dragon-face fitting at the blade collar is supplier-listed as brass.

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 pole. 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 all blade, pole, connector, and end-cap components on a stable surface before assembly.
2. If the pole is supplied in sections, inspect every thread, collar, pin, or locking component for damage.
3. Align each connector carefully and seat it fully without cross-threading or forcing the parts.
4. Confirm that no joint gap, looseness, rotation, or movement remains after assembly.

Inspection Before Practice or Stage Use

• Confirm the delivered edge condition before handling.
• Inspect the blade for cracks, bending, corrosion, or shipping damage.
• Check the blade collar and every pole joint for movement or looseness.
• Confirm that the rear end fitting and all locking components are secure.
• Stop using the product immediately if any component shifts, rattles, bends, or loosens.

Training and Safety Notice

This is an unusually long polearm and requires substantial clear space. Any handled use should be limited to experienced adults under qualified supervision. Use 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 blade dry after handling and apply a thin coat of neutral mineral oil.
• Keep fingerprints, moisture, salt, and harsh cleaners away from the steel surface.
• Wipe the stainless-steel pole dry and inspect sectional joints regularly.
• Clean brass fittings with a soft dry cloth; avoid aggressive polishing compounds.
• Store all components and the cotton bag in a dry, secure location.
