Buy itThis Tai Chi sword is stainless steel with a mirrored polished finish. The sword is more rigid than a spring steel blade, but don't let that dissuade you. The sword is very firm in the handling but still has a great range of flexibility.

Although I am fairly new to T'ai Chi, I have been a collector of historical and reproduction swords for many years. My two cents worth is that this is a very good sword for the beginner, especially when you consider the price. If you are getting serious with your art, then by all means invest in something of a higher quality and price... but if you're just starting as I am, this is one of those rare happy accidents of low price yet decent item... I can't imagine you'll ever find this in WalMart.

This sword blade looks nice. You can see your reflection on it, but it is a little stiff. It weighs 3 lbs 3.75 oz (560 g) without the tassle and its balance point is about 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) from where the handle connects to the blade (closer is better). My instructor tells me that this is more suited for decoration than for tai chi competition. You should ask your instructor before buying this sword. The scabbard is made of plastic and the handle is made of rubber. The yin yang symbol on the handle was not glued on clean, but from a distance, it looks good.

The final outcome was fair and the product is a good one at a fair price. The product originally sent was defective. It ultimately was replaced with no additional shipping and handling charges. Arriving at the fair settlement was frustrating. The dealer didn't contact me in earnest until I posted a negative review on the Amazon website, and had gotten Amazon customer service involved. The negative review was removed from the website after the eventual satisfactory resolution of my consumer complaint.
