Chinese Double Sword

Chinese double sword collecting encompasses several distinct categories: matched pair swords where two identical or complementary blades are presented as a set, the Guan Dao crescent-blade polearm paired with dao combinations, and the overlord spear and dao pairings of the Chinese martial arts tradition. Each category represents a specific dimension of Chinese blade culture where the pair or combination is more significant than the individual piece alone - the two-element presentation amplifies the cultural statement that either piece makes individually.

Chinese double sword collections in this category include Guan Dao crescent blade polearms in 1090 carbon steel paired with Chinese broadsword dao, overlord spear and dao combinations in Manganese Steel, Chinese dao broadswords in Manganese Steel with dragon design elements, and matched dao sets. The Guan Dao is associated with the historical general Guan Yu, who became deified as the God of War in Chinese religious tradition - a Guan Dao display carries the weight of this specific and powerful cultural association. For related collections, our chinese spear head and handmade chinese sword collections offer further Chinese polearm and blade options.

A Chinese double sword display is among the most visually impactful statements available in East Asian blade collecting - the scale of polearms alongside dao broadswords creates a display presence that single-sword Japanese formats cannot match.
