Guandao Sword – War of God Edition | Hand Forged Short-Handled Battle Blade

Inspired by the legendary Chinese Guandao wielded by General Guan Yu—revered as the War God of Chinese history—this short-handled Guandao Sword by Everest Forge reimagines battlefield power in a compact, functional form. Known for its heavy forward curve and cleaving force, the Guandao blade is ideal for decisive, sweeping strikes in combat or heavy-duty tasks in the field.

This 20-inch blade is hand forged from 5160 carbon steel (leaf spring of a truck), water tempered for toughness and sharpened for immediate use. The 10-inch rosewood handle provides ample two-hand leverage, while the full tang construction ensures strength and durability. A leather-wrapped back-carry scabbard is included, making this "War of God" blade as mobile as it is fierce.
