    Small and Bulk blade comparison, fun to try if your wrist is ready for it. The big blades are great for sword practice but they are not if your wrist is not strong enough because you don't feel you can control it well. When your wrist is strengthen up, you can use these blades do to your internal swords forms like taichi swords and they really feels great in the hand! Love the big bladeS~

    ROTFL!!!! That IS the SAME SWORD that I got at Shaolin and broke doing a cutting test.

    If you want to see some bad sword construction unscrew the pommel nut (it's easy with that one) and remove the hilt from the tang of the blade.

    I'd bet you dollars to doughnuts that you'll find the tang has been welded to the blade.

    These swords are not meant for test-cut, are you having logic or what? If you want to go test-cut, buy some damascus blades which are sharpened to do the job. Sigh.. you are like an ox listening to great piano music, waste of time.

    I'm thinking I wouldn't train at all with a blade that is welded onto a tang. Scary.

    ox listening to the piano or organ.

    the ox may not understand the tune

    but it can sense the emotions or picking up hues or cues from people.

    --

    the saying means that it is useless.

    --

    ox never shed tears

    it is almost impossible.

    but

    the ox that shed tears

    tai shang lao jun the supreme extreme old wisement(taoist priest in the heaven)

    or the wisest old gentlement

    he rides the ox that shed tears

    --

    if ox is doing good deeds, it can become human and have emotions and cries

    if it does more good deeds, it can become semi god

    and goes to heaven

    or gets to be ridden by the oldest (as old as the beginning of the heave and the earth) and thus the wisest man.

    ---

    in short, ox tearing not possible, but if---

    Okay, here is the sword disassembled, which is very typical style too, I don't see and weilding to the tang, it's a solid piece of steel from the blade to the tang and to the thread too. The blad is very sturdy, and strong as well just like I tested. Maybe you got ripped off at shaolin or something? Could be, because they are famous for rip off stuff.

    I meant

    you have to find the people that knows your music

    or zhi yin ren.

    all your music is all wasted in playing.

    or to no effect.

    similarly

    you have to find the people that knows you or understand your thoughts and emotions.

    figuratively speaking.

    --

    know your music and know you.

    that is hard to come by

    --

    so is finding the ox that cries

    --

    Don't you get the point now? People are like ox, hearing some good music out there but they don't understand it and just used their way to understand it which is already a waste of a good piece. I am not referring to "my stuff", I am referring to the swords. Swords are good, people are not using their brain to understand enjoy it the way it is supposed to be, but some acted like butchers and started to do "test cuts" with swords that are not build for the purpose.. sigh.. what a joke.

    I was like that too, when I am about 18-19.. but then I realized how naive I was afterward as well. There are many good swords out there, even the bulky ones that most kungfu people will complain about their size, weight, balance.. etc. One day, if you really can master it, you will love it, and you will know why they are made that way. If you don't know, you will say they are just a wall hanger. But if you do, you will love to use them a lot.

    Not all swords are for fighting and cutting, don't be so shallow. Just the design of the sword is already a piece of attraction to let you understand more skills and techniques. Swords don't need to be sharp for you to enjoy them, their deisgns can already tell you a lot and teach you a lot.
