"This is a fine product, suitable for my tai chi training. I learned initially with a handmade wooden sword, so appreciate having a metal one. I do find the handle too short, I must admit. I have large hands and find the exchanges a bit awkward."

"Exactly the sword I needed"

"I’m very impressed with this sword. Light and fast. Stiff enough for cutting but still flexible. Could have been a little sharper but after a quick touch up it now cuts great. Definitely recommend it. "

"I ordered this Chinese-style sword [one of many I have used over the decades] and ran into some issues with doing it online but a phone call to a Reliks staff member soon solved the problem. As to the sword itself, it arrived well-packaged and on schedule and is attractive despite having a non-traditional resin/plastic sheath and handle. The blade had a basic edge out of the box and has a solid feel with a good point. I find the balance a little point-heavy and hard on my shoulder [getting old is no fun] but that was partially alleviated by gripping the handle very close to the guard [which is often advocated, in any case, by Chinese-style swordsmen]. I also added a bit of weight under my own wrapping of the handle and that has made all the difference. P.S. To give the store credit, when I asked whether they would have been willing to take the sword back in exchange for a shorter blade they said “no problem” but that wasn’t necessary."
