Qianlong Dragon Chinese Dao Sabre | Hand-Forged Folded Steel with Ebony Scabbard
The Qianlong Dragon Chinese Dao Sabre is inspired by the ceremonial sabres carried by Emperor Qianlong during the Qing Dynasty. Forged from 1060 folded steel, the blade is folded 13 times to create 8192 layers of exquisite grain (HADA). Each sword is hand-polished, heat-tempered, and built with a full tang construction, ensuring strength, balance, and sharpness.
The ebony scabbard and handle are paired with finely engraved brass dragon fittings, symbolizing imperial power and cultural prestige. A brown hanging cord between fittings adds both elegance and functionality. Every sword includes a free sword bag, making it perfect for collectors, martial artists, and enthusiasts of authentic Chinese swords.
