Frequently Asked Questions

What formats are included in the Chinese great sword category?
Chinese great swords encompass several specific blade formats defined by their exceptional scale and cultural significance. The Guan Dao is a crescent-blade polearm with a heavy curved blade on an extended shaft - total lengths of 150-180 cm and blade weights appropriate to the polearm format. The overlord spear is a long-shaft thrusting polearm associated in Chinese tradition with the general Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu. Extended Chinese dao broadswords in the 80-100 cm blade range represent the long-format single-edged saber category. Dragon-design dao with long overall dimensions add the supreme Chinese mythological symbol to the great sword format. Each format has a specific place in Chinese martial culture and creates a specific display presence defined by its scale and format.
What steel grades are used for Chinese great sword construction?
Chinese great sword formats in this collection use 1090 carbon steel for polearm Guan Dao construction, Manganese Steel for dragon-design dao and overlord spear components, and 1045 carbon steel for accessible extended dao formats. 1090 carbon steel provides the higher carbon content appropriate for the specific hardness requirements of crescent blade and polearm blade construction. Manganese Steel's exceptional surface hardness makes it ideal for the dramatic surface treatments and dragon design details that characterize premium Chinese great sword pieces - the hard surface holds decorative treatments with greater consistency than softer steel grades. 1045 carbon steel provides the accessible foundational tier for Chinese extended dao with correct full-tang construction and genuine blade hardness appropriate to the grade.
How do I display a Chinese great sword given its exceptional scale?
Chinese great sword display requires specific planning because of the exceptional total lengths involved. A Guan Dao or overlord spear with total length of 150-180 cm requires 200 cm or more of unobstructed horizontal wall space plus clearance on both sides. Horizontal wall mounting using heavy-duty extended bracket pairs positioned at appropriate spacing is the most practical approach - two large bracket arms at 60-80 cm spacing support the shaft at two stable points. Vertical display with the blade pointing upward is an alternative for polearm formats that minimizes horizontal space requirements while maintaining visual impact. For display alongside standard katana or dao, the scale difference is the primary compositional element - a Guan Dao in the center position flanked by katana or dao pieces creates a hierarchy of scale that reflects the visual weight of the formats accurately.
What is the cultural significance of the Guan Dao as a collectible?
The Guan Dao is arguably the most culturally significant single polearm form in Chinese history because of its specific association with Guan Yu - the historical general of the Three Kingdoms period who was deified as Guan Di, the God of War. Guan Yu is among the most widely worshipped deities in both Taoist and Buddhist religious traditions in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Chinese diaspora communities worldwide. His specific weapon, the Green Dragon Crescent Moon Blade (Qinglong Yanyuedao), is named after him as the Guan Dao. Temples dedicated to Guan Di typically display a Guan Dao as part of the deity's iconography. The cultural weight of this specific weapon-deity association means that a Guan Dao display carries religious, historical, and martial cultural significance simultaneously - a collecting depth that no other Chinese polearm format can match.

I bought this sword for my son. It was for his 18th Birthday. He loved it. We were both impressed with the look feel and quality of workmanship. Absolutely worth the price. If you can even put a price on the love and admiration of a 18 year old son this day and age. Mission Accomplished!!!
