1. The image here is the reverse of what is on the actual item. (For some of us, it does matter!) The art detail isn't as fine as I'd like. But the price is OK.

1. I bought the black color style.
   
   There wasn't really anything nearby I could compare the described weight to, but this fan is definitely quite firm in the hand. The popping noise it makes is the same for many other tai chi/taiji plastic fans out there, only this is definitely more durable (obviously).
   
   The fabric at the end was a bit frayed and i was able to start pulling off some of teh thread. Best fix to this is to use an iron (the kind you use to smooth out wrinkles on clothing) and lightly touch the ends to melt the fabric together. Be careful though, as too much will actually shrink the fabric and screw up the fan.
   
   I like the weight and the feel of this item, but it requires a bit more dexterity than usual.

1. Good fan, though the fabric is really synthetic looking in person. good weight in hand, and the un-furling sound is really sharp, shares the crud out of my cat.

1. i got this fan much sooner than expected so im happy about that already. as for the fan itself, its very durable and i must say that it is beautiful. it frays a little at the top but thats typical for the material and happens to fighting fans very often. it makes a loud cracking sound when opened that is very impressive. it does have some heft from its metal ribs but that just makes it all the more impressive to handle. if you want a functional and usable fighting fan, this is the number one choice.



2. This is a nice fan for beginners. The blades are not sharp but the weight is very close. The satin material is durable to a point. My fiance has been using this fan for only two months now and the blades hold true to the satin however the edges of the satin began to fray. But like I said it's a great fan for beginners. I recommend this fan to anyone who is beginning to learn the art of the fan.



3. its a very impressive item. its hefty and loud. I like using it for tricks because it wont suffer as much dammage as wooden or plastic,but the silk frays easily to a certain extent. it was already a little frayed when I opened it for the first time. it isnt very convenient if you plan on using it to keep yourself cool because you tire quickly and you cant get it going fast. Ive used it enough to the point where that dosent bother me, but the handle still digs into your palm. all things considered, i would recomend it unless you only want it to cool yourself off



4. The fan is actually quite heavy, although its not as surprising considering the material it's made out of. The satin material is not as durable on the other hand. After some use, it started to fray and loosen up. I had to use some kind of heat to melt the frayed ends so it'd say closed.
   
   I bought the fan to practice a tai chi form, but the weight kind makes it hard to control. it's like holding something as heavy as a water bottle filled with some water.
   
   The fan can also be quite dangerous. The ends of the fans are a hard edged shape like a rectangle rather than a smooth rounded corner.
   
   Make sure you know what you're doing when using this fan.
