I'm sure it's somewhere. I just can't remember if I passed it on or kept it. My former office is stored in maybe a half dozen boxes and it pains me to search through those. Still sad about losing the print mag and my full time position there. It was a great job while it lasted and I'm grateful that I'm still doing some of it part time for the web.
Tiger Claw got a lot of fascinating samples over the years - we have designated buyers in China that seek out new possible products (although I'm not sure what's happening with that now due to the pandemic). Many of the samples, like that axe, were of interest to people like us, but there's no market for them. Consequently they'd end up in the
Tiger Claw parking lot sales, unless I spotted them and grabbed them.
You know, I always wanted to run more stories about ritual weapons and martial arts in folk religion. I feel that's a major influence on Kung Fu that's sorely overlooked, just like Chinese opera.
