Wushu Practice Sword

A super simple, yet sturdy, yet flimsy sword. Perfect for practicing wushu, decent for practiceing thai chi. The sword rings out as you stab and slash with very little effort, but not so much as to be obnoxious. The steel is very flexable and has no edge. As a result the blade can barely cut through a sheet of paper, much less human flesh so there is little to no risk of injury. Honestly this sword is safer to practice with than most wooden swords i've used. The down sides; The blue ribbon on the grip fell off on the first slash revealing a siple wooden grip underneath. This was fine for me as it ultimately made the sword easier to handle, but if your buying this for its aesthetics, be aware. The blade is curved even at rest and will never remain perfectly straight. Again, only really an issue if you care about aesthetics. The fittings are screwed in by a small bolt at the base of the pomel, the bolt may become loose resulting in a rattling and looseness in the grip. This can be immediately and effortlessly reversed by hand tightening it. All things considered, i'm very satasfied. I intend to use it till it breaks and then maybe buy another.

I requested to exchange 24" (bought on late July) with 26”. However, the 26" I just received from seller has very poor quality and workmanship; it is totally different than the 24” I intend to exchange. It is not “Apple to Apple”, more like “bait-and-switch” and I will return the 26” today. • The 24” (left side) has wood finished handle in better iron quality. • The 26” (right side) has unfinished wood handle with flimsy iron quality. Furthermore, the handle did not attach to sword tightly so it wobbly when swing

everything ok!

We use this for taichi and it is just about right. It has a flexible blade and when you strike with fajin it will make that nice snapping noise. It looks nice, is weighted properly, and the scabbard is attractive. The only issue is that the wrapping immediately came off the handle exposing the wood underneath. It still works fine, but it looks a little sketchy. We'll have to super glue it down or something.

Bottom handle cloth comes off really easily.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my wife, it did arrive faster than expected and in proper condition however this swords scabbard is not the color I was expecting, it came with a childish red color scabbard and its not as appealing in my opinion, I would not have bought this color. Luckily my wife is still pleased to just have it, but she prefers the advertised color as well. Considering returning.

These are notorious for the end screw falling off and the whole sword falling apart so you gotta really over tighten the screw or get you some threadlocker to keep the screw in place. 10/10 for price.

Received with sword sheath broken not enough time to return before sword is needed. No apparent damage to shipping box. Very disappointed in this purchase.
