Similar to a Japanese naginata or a European glaive, this guandao features a large 69 cm blade and 80 cm long staff. Hand-painted and sculpted, the finished result is a beautiful weapon with a long single-edged spearhead. Sculpted brass details give additional character where the spearhead meets the red suede leather wrapped pole. Add a ring or a scrap of fabric through the hole in the blade to set it apart from the crowd.
