Where can I get a Combat or Good Quality Monk's Spade?

[Lucas]

I wonder why they have not updated their prices since 2006.

regardless, looks like you will be paying a pretty penny through those guys. Already made swords look to range 1+ thousand USD.

I would add another 500 -1000 for a custom made job.

I came across these AMAZING custom made Chinese swords and one day I will own
1 or 2 or 3 ok DARN IT I want them all lets be real...darn it I can't stop drooling for some reason....FuShou Jian drip....drool......oh yeah that's why I'm drooling.

But anyhow my point is ---maybe they can make a custom monk spade for me......That would pwn all monk spades before it..

Has anyone every had a weapon made by these guys?

Nope, but the fellow posts here....... I think his screen-name IS "MasterForge"

Next week, two reps from our company are going to China to straighten some things out. So right now, we are out of stock on Dragon Well Monk Spades, but hopefully we'll get the new shipment in very soon.

The Dragon Well one sucks. It's too unwieldy.

I posted a suuuh-wheet Monk Spade a couple of years ago that was $300, but it looks like I deleted that thread. They even had a matching Kwan Dao.

Yeah I'm familiar with the dragon well ones and I don't like them at all. I bet that "Master Forge" place would charge me a ton but It looks like they make some nice swords. I sent them a message so i'll see what they say back.

I'm trying to be under the 400$ mark but I would rather pay more for a great weapon that will last than save the money on a hunk-a-junk.

For sure, if you are super into the spade, maybe get a "temporary" one right now, and shell out the cash later to get one that will out last your lifetime. It would be a good investment in yourself.

Sound advise Lucas....I bet Sifu would say the same thing...maybe Ill just go with the WLE one for 138$

hopefully it wont disappoint me too much.

To Pete Robinson,
I know this thread is about a different topic, but I wanted to ask you a couple of questions. What years did you study with Ark Wong and what forms did you learn? You can send me a private email if you don't want to post here.
Thanks.

That one looks pretty nice, especially for $138.

That one looks pretty nice, especially for $138.

It is, except the shaft on mine broke pretty early on. I replaced it with an aluminium shaft I bought at Lowe's for about $20, though. I used to compete with it (NortherPracticioner can tell you how nice it is).

[No_SuRReNDeR]

Ok I think I will go with it then and I guess I can always replace the shaft...if any of you come across any crazy bad ass custom type ones in the future pm me.

That seems to be a trend with pole arm weapons unfortunately.

until you get into real high quality i suppose....

Hi,

I spoke to the forge. we can make a monks spade. So I think it is best if you take a look at our blade options:
http://www.masterforge.co.uk/acatalo...e-options.html

Then you can tell us what blade type you want.

There are also many types of spade. So if you get some pics then we know what you want it modelled on.

When we get all of the details we will then be able to make a full quotation for you.

Thanks
