A guandao is a type of Chinese pole weapon that is used in some forms of Chinese martial arts. In Chinese, it is properly called a yanyuedao ("reclining moon blade"), the name under which it always appears in texts from the Song to Qing dynasties such as the Wujing Zongyao and Huangchao Liqi Tushi. It is comparable to the Japanese naginata and the European fauchard or glaive and consists of a heavy blade with a spike at the back and sometimes also a notch at the spike's upper base that can catch an opponent's weapon. In addition there are often irregular serrations that lead the back edge of the blade to the spike. The blade is mounted atop a 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5–6 foot) long wooden or metal pole with a pointed metal counter weight used to balance the heavy blade and for striking on the opposite end.
Very happy, looks great, came very sharp. I will likely buy more products

Wwii Japanese Army Shin Gunto Officer’s Saber Sword Type 98 With Green Scabbard |
Good quality budget sword. Only complaint is that the scabbard was a poor fit and was too loose; the sword wobbled around way too much inside the scabbard when sheathed.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword Melaleuca Steel With Red Scabbard |
As soon as you see this katana, you understand that is such a great piece of art. But as soon as you take this sword, which we often see on TV screens, out of its sheath, you understand that the master blacksmith not only worked on it for many days but also put a bit of his soul into his work, which seriously lets you know the weight and shine of the manganese steel, playing with the rays of the afternoon sun.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Golden Blade And Brown Scabbard |
It's a work of art. It could come sharper, but nothing that can't be easily fixed. I've already ordered another so that says enough.

The sword is beautiful. I bought two swords on Amazon and they both broke within a week. My son (who is into Katana Swords) was devastated. This sword is built so much better and it’s very sleek. He’s only 6 so he’s not allowed to touch it without Mommy or Daddy right next to him. I’m teaching him to respect the sword and to understand it’s a very powerful weapon. We love it. Thanks for making such a great product.
