About This Blade

Blade: STIGA Xu Xin Blue Label — Year of the Horse Zodiac Limited Edition

Background: Brand new, China domestic release, limited zodiac edition.

Based on the Xu Xin Blue Label as its foundation, this is the first time the design has been released as a limited commemorative edition, making it a meaningful collector’s piece.
The box is impressively substantial, containing the blade, a scarf, and gloves. The blade weight carries on the Blue Label’s tradition of being a “heavy cannon” — shakehand versions average around 95 g with film attached, while penhold versions average around 90 g; only a small number come in lighter weights.
STIGA releases these zodiac editions as an annual tradition, with just one production run per year. We’re featuring the 2026 edition here as a commemorative showcase.
