Ancient Chinese Weapons have incredible history and stories.
The Chinese are known for their advanced martial arts and supreme weapons. An
Ancient Chinese Weapons collection can be an incredible investment both
financially and socially!
Ancient Chinese Weapons were used as far back as 6000
years ago by warriors. The weapons were made out of many different materials
including bamboo, stone, jade, iron, and other metals. Some of the different
weapons are the Dao, which is a large sword with a curved single edge; the
Qiang, which is a spear on the end of a shaft; the Jian, which is more like a
traditional sword; and there are many other kinds of Ancient Chinese Weapons.
If you’re starting your Ancient Chinese Weapons
collection, it is advisable to decide if you will be using your weapons for
cutting, training, or displaying.

Ancient Chinese
Weapon restoration should not be tackled by a non-professional. If you purchase
a weapon that needs some work, make sure to consult a professional, or you
could further decrease the value of your weapon. Now that we have that
established we can move on to caring for your Ancient Chinese Weapon in its
current condition! If you are dealing with a sword or dagger of sorts, do not
touch the blade with your bare hands! This causes rust, which decreases value.
Make sure to wear clean, non-colored gloves when handling, and make sure to not
apply heat. Take pictures of your weapon so you can track its condition. Keep
it oiled with a light cloth. There are different oils available, so make sure
to research the correct one. Cojhi and Camellia are popular oil brands for
Ancient Chinese Weapons. Once your weapon is properly oiled, display it proudly
in your favorite room.
The Ancient
Chinese Weapon’s ability to withstand the harshness of time adds value. If a
sword has been around for a long time, and its material (perhaps bronze) is
still in tack and useable, this will greatly add to its value. Ancient Chinese
Weapons could have been buried or neglected, which could decrease their value.
Any kind of reputation that the Ancient Chinese Weapon might have is a plus. If
there is a story behind that particular weapon or type of weapon, this could
add value. Collectors love their stories! Also, if the creator of the weapon
was well-known, this will also add value.
