I did not receive a case with mine. It came in a cardboard box and I only got the weapon.
I assume the product is made in China because there is nothing on the package indicating its manufacturing origin.
The swords in question are combat steel hook swords. They are a high quality product that I intend to use primarily for practice, not for
The blades are not overly heavy, and they are not very Training and maybe some light sparring would suffice. A real fight would definitely not be live/live

I find the weights good for strengthening the muscles in my wrists and arms because they look great and feel great.
If you've seen that show, then you know the level of destruction these weapons can wreak! In your opinion, how does the $34 version fare against the $26 version? Overall, I think it's pretty good! As a result of reading a review that said they were paper thin, light, and easily bent, I was somewhat concerned, but I needn't have been. Despite the fact that it was a set, it was extremely sturdy and well made. You should keep in mind that these are designed to be light, thin, and to have a small amount of give. weigh a little less than you'd expect, but they're solid- It's better to strike and block with such a weapon! It took me about ten minutes to hack through some heavy boxes without even bending mine. Generally they come sharply - This means you will not be cutting through your skin and clothing like with a scalpel, but you can still get injured if you are not careful. I found the hooks to be sharp and they easily cut through the thick cardboard I tried on. There are a few dull "blades," but they could be easily Both hand guards and blades have been sharpened, with the hand guards being slightly sharper than the blades. It didn't take long for me to cut myself on a point! Even though the spikes on the bottom are not going to gouge through someone, they could cause a wound, and if they are jammed into someone, it will not be pleasant for them. The other trick I tried was to connect the swords and then swing the other one around-- this worked very well for me. That is a really good idea! Here are some words of caution - If you are in a closed space, try not to do this! A 10 foot radius around you should be free of people, and there should not be anything in the way. As you catch the sword most of the time, you are likely to get hit by its handle, but occasionally, you will be struck by the hand guard, so wear gloves during practice! Please note that these are NOT toys! It is likely that you will have a lot of blood and a horrific injury if you hit someone full with the hook. These are literally so powerful that you can slaughter someone! You should respect these as An incredible pair of weapons that are well constructed, deadly, and efficient!.
Ultimately, this leads to another important goal It was really fun to swing my arms in different ways, then switch from slow to fast to make them I also like the sharpness of these! As soon as they were near my arms, they scratched them, which made me practice.
The first hook I attach around the other and the second swinging violently in circles until one of them falls off and embeds itself in the wall is my favorite. I would buy this product again if given the chance.
As a matter of fact, I feel it is important to mention It is important to not be negligent in linking these hooks and swinging them. In fact, you don't even need to do it or at the very least you will lose your thumb. sword is not a proper straight sword and is not at all a weapon, nor does it have a swing or handle, so it does not have much value. More so than to show off to others who can use it, it's more for amusement in the home. As I know all of those who have. It is impossible to have The reliance on this thing isn't something any real master should put its trust in but let me I am in love with them! Keeping a story in the home is always a good idea.
The fun to use them may not be anything special, but it is pretty enjoyable. It won't do any good to assume you can clash with them. There is a clear purpose for them and that is practice only. At the same time, they are fun, and as a result they have a wicked edge all things considered, so do not be cocky. It was defiantly the best purchase I have ever made.
Despite being steel, they come with sharpened (not razor sharp) edges. There is only one thing I don't like about the grips, they are wrapped in paracord. There is a bit of weight at the end due to the "hooks. " The grip feels more like a hachet rather than a sword or a Although they are thin (not flimsy) they inflict a lot of discomfort on your hands and wrists, as if holding a heavy steel yardstick. My old foam rubber grips were made of cloth, so I replaced them with leather and made them larger so they are a little more comfortable. My overall impression is that they are quite nice and I am excited to work with them in the future.
Because of my interests in kung fu and tai chi, I purchased these books. Because they were so expensive I was worried they would not be of very good quality, but they turned out to be fantastic. While I wouldn't go as far as saying these swords are combat-ready, they are certainly decent The weight of these hammers is light enough that you can practice with them, but yet they are heavy enough that they are useful as a workout tool as well. My first experience with this is that I may have to rewrap the handle after using it a bit more (I am about a week in to owning these) because it does not seem that secure, but I have not encountered any issues I am also quite impressed with how quickly the goods arrived. There have been better times Despite the fact that they were a few days early (rather than what they said they would deliver), they were on time, the package was secure, and the box arrived intact.
I recommend this product to anyone thinking of starting out on the tiger hook sword, or just dabbling in the art of the tiger hook sword, or who just wants a decorative piece they can use every now and then.
