"The treasure sword features twin dragons;
Its snowy pattern shines like lotus flowers."
— Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
The Chi Long (Crimson Dragon) represents the pinnacle of Qing Dynasty Imperial craftsmanship. Unlike the minimalist aesthetic of the Samurai, this Qing Sabre (Dao) is unapologetically luxurious, designed for the high-ranking General or Noble.
Weighing in at a substantial 4.8 lbs (2.2kg), this is a true heavyweight display piece. The weight comes from the dense, premium Ebony Wood (烏木) scabbard and the lavish Pure Copper Handle. With an extended 11.2-inch (28.5cm) handle, it offers excellent leverage and two-handed control, balancing the blade's presence with refined handling.
For the collector who appreciates intricate detail, the Chi Long is a masterpiece. The Fire Dragon motif carved into the copper speaks of power and protection. The premium Ebony wood feels cool and stone-like to the touch. It is the perfect "Man Cave" centerpiece or an executive gift that commands immediate attention.
The Blade: Folded "Snow" Steel
Forged from High-Hardness Folded Steel (Damascus), the blade is integrated (Full Tang) for structural durability. The folding process creates a mesmerizing natural grain pattern, reminiscent of flowing water or snow, contrasting beautifully with the aggressive "Fire Dragon" fittings.
The Fittings: Hand-Carved Copper & Ebony
The scabbard is carved from Premium Ebony, a wood so dense it sinks in water, known for its deep, pitch-black finish that ages beautifully. The handle and fittings are crafted from Pure Copper, featuring elaborate "Fire Dragon" (火龍) engravings—a creature of myth believed to ward off evil spirits.
