A Chinese polearm, the quandao, as envisioned by Sifu Adam Hsu. You'll find websites claiming that quandao used to weigh 100 lbs - that's a sure sign that you're looking at a 1-800-swords'r'us website run by cretins who have no idea what they're talking about. The Adam Hsu quandao is unsharpened for safety in kata/forms work, but the blade is tempered high carbon steel distally tapered to improve balance. This isn't a display/kata/costume/dance wushu staff, it is a fully functional polearm. Wood shaft, quatrefoil guard/tsuba, dragon motif decorations to blade and guard.
