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.
Quality through and through. The blade was protected and well oiled.
Everything about this is really good. The only gripe is UPS and their delivery.

Handmade Japanese Sword With Blue Blade And White Scabbard |
An exquisite craftmanship, very sturdy, genuine materials and really beautiful.
Only one point of disappointment, and it is a major one for me;
like written in your description of this Tanto :
- "razors edge sharp"
- "battle-ready swords"
- "built for cutting" (?!)
- "extremely sharp hand honed edge".
I am afraid it is not true.
I own a Katana with those qualities and this Tanto is not near
to cut something at all. It is even dull at some points to say the truth.
....but 4 stars anyway because it is awesome for display.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword 1045 Carbon Steel With Blue Blade And Scabbard |
Before I found True Katana I was lost in the woods, when it came to katanas. I was looking at garbage, cheaply made swords. True Katana opened my eyes to the possibilities of having a legitimate sword collection. These are works of art and the only True Katanas I’ll turn to from now own. I’m wildly pleased with what I’ve purchased and the wait is minimal and always worth it. Thank you, True Katana, I love you.
