Kangxi Dao – High-Manganese Steel Qing-Style Saber

This newly manufactured Kangxi Dao presents a contemporary interpretation of Qing-style Chinese saber design. It combines a quenched, unsharpened high-manganese steel blade with a long black-wrapped handle, silver-tone zinc-alloy fittings, and a wood-core scabbard wrapped in textured black faux leather. Decorative dark blade motifs and coordinated relief fittings create a distinctive presentation for responsible adult collection, cultural display, gifting, photography, and controlled non-contact forms.

Specifications

Measurement note: The supplied 53 cm blade length and 40 cm handle length total 93 cm, which does not reconcile with the listed 103 cm overall length. Measurement points and weight scope should be confirmed before the listing is activated.

Materials and Construction

The blade is supplier-listed as forged high-manganese steel and has undergone quenching. The exact steel grade, hardness, tang construction, and blade-decoration method have not been provided and are therefore not represented as confirmed technical specifications.

Silver-tone zinc-alloy fittings feature raised decorative motifs across the guard, handle and scabbard. The scabbard combines a wooden core with a black textured faux-leather covering. The handle is visibly wrapped in black material, but its internal core and wrap composition are not specified.

Longquan Craft Tradition

The supplier describes this sword as being forged in Longquan using methods associated with the Longquan sword-forging tradition. Longquan sword forging is included in China's national intangible cultural heritage catalogue. That recognition applies to the traditional craft project and should not be interpreted as individual certification of this particular sword.

Kangxi-Inspired Design

The product name refers to its Qing-inspired decorative presentation and long-handled Chinese Dao profile. This is a modern collector piece rather than an antique, imperial artifact, or museum-certified reproduction of a documented sword owned by the Kangxi Emperor.
