Product Details
This is the weapon that made Guan Yu a legend. The Guan Dao - also known as the Kwan Dao or Green Dragon Crescent Blade - is one of the most iconic polearms in Chinese martial history. Credited to the famous Three Kingdoms general Guan Yu in the 3rd century, it became synonymous with loyalty, martial prowess, and sheer physical dominance on the battlefield.
This version stands 80.7 inches tall - over six and a half feet - with a 21.25-inch manganese steel blade mounted on a stainless steel shaft. At 9.7 lbs, it has authentic presence and weight. The shaft assembles in sections for shipping and storage, connecting securely for display or practice. The blade width of 4.6 inches gives it the broad, sweeping crescent profile that makes the Guan Dao instantly recognizable.
The design details elevate this from a simple polearm reproduction to a genuine collector's piece. A dragon head at the junction of blade and shaft appears to bite down on the blade - a traditional motif found on historical Guan Dao. Both sides of the blade feature intricately engraved dragon designs, and the golden wrapping on the grip section adds color contrast against the steel shaft.
The opposite end of the shaft terminates in a spiked counterweight with looped rings along its ridges. This isn't decorative - historically, the counterweight balanced the heavy blade during spinning techniques and could be used for striking and stabbing in close quarters. The rings would create sound during movement, both as an intimidation element and as an auditory cue for the wielder's rhythm.
Guan Dao training is still actively practiced in Chinese kung fu and wushu schools. The full-body movements required to control a blade this size at the end of a six-foot shaft build strength, coordination, and weapon control that translates to other martial arts disciplines. Whether you train with it or display it, the scale alone commands attention in any room.
This is not a commonly available piece - most sword retailers don't carry polearms of this size. If you've been looking for a Guan Dao that balances historical accuracy, visual detail, and functional construction without costing four figures, this is one of the few options on the market at this price point.
