These swords continue to be made today. Quality, however, dramatically varies from sword to sword. You may be able to purchase Longquan swords elsewhere, but most customers end up disappointed by the poor quality swords. Tao Resource has resolved this problem. Mr. Zhu Feng Wu, a famed martial arts teacher and a two-time Chinese national champion in Taiji Sword, personally selects each sword in our inventory from the Longquan factory.
Swords are inconveniently long, and are difficult to carry.
Tao Resource has a supply of excellent collapsible swords. The blade of these swords collapses section by section into the handle, making this sword fantastic for people who travel or bike. You can throw it in a knapsack, safely carry it on an airplane, or put it in the glove compartment of your car. The tassel provides a beauty and an elegance to movements that a plain weapon cannot match. Tassels are also a weapon unto itself as it makes the sword better balanced and when used martially can act as a divergence or as a brush.
