My husband was speechless when he opened this. He’s into martial history and has studied Chinese weaponry for years. The Skyburner exceeded his expectations – he keeps saying how the weight and grip feel authentic, like it was made for实战 (real combat). We didn’t sharpen it, but even unsharpened, the presence of this sword is powerful. Displaying it on our wall feels like honoring tradition.

Solid build and amazing balance. Took me a few days to get used to the weight, but now it feels like an extension of my arm. Perfect for my wushu routines.

As someone who practices martial arts, I wanted a real functional dao that honored tradition without sacrificing durability. The Flame Dragon delivers. Forged by skilled hands, it’s both elegant and battle-ready. I tested the sharp edge on rolled mats and green wood—performs flawlessly. The moment I drew it under sunlight, the ripple pattern along the blade caught fire like its name. Owning this connects me to something deeper than technique—it’s heritage in motion.

Not a casual decoration piece—this sword has weight, purpose, and soul. My husband uses it for historical reenactments, and even unsharpened, its presence commands attention. The steel feels solid, and the handle wrap is comfortable even during extended forms. One small chip near the tip from a hard strike, but honestly, that’s on me. Performs like a true battlefield weapon.

I've always been fascinated by Chinese martial arts, and this Soaring Dragon dao exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship is outstanding—every detail from the hand-forged blade to the dragon motif on the guard feels intentional and powerful. I opted for the sharpened version, and after testing it on bamboo and rolled mats, I can confirm it's not just decorative. It cuts clean and holds balance beautifully. Displaying it in my study sparks so many conversations.

This sword arrived right on time and looks even better in person. The steel has a deep mirror finish that catches light like fire. I didn’t expect such balance—handles like a natural extension of the arm. Perfect weight for forms practice. My kung fu sifu noticed immediately and asked where I got it. Definitely worth every dollar.
