I recently got one of the Tiger Claw wooden training sabers and I wanted to mention that I thought it was a great value for the money. The quality was good, the red oak was nicely finished and the weight and balance was outstanding. I liked the "profile" of the blade (i.e. how much it curved, thickness of the blade). I use it for doing Yang style Taiji saber and a Cheng style Pakua saber set. It works great for both.

take care,
Brian
