1. the sword looks nice and just nice is the only plus it gets. When I got it the tip had a chip, the brass was scratched, and wasn't "razor sharp" more like slightly sharp. When I practiced with it the handle was shakey. About a month after I got it the handle cracked in 3 places it's far from battle ready.

1 comments about The Tiger's Claw (TC 2000).

1. I bought my first pair of red Tiger Claw 2000 gloves about ten years ago at a used sporting good store. They were close to being worn out, but I liked the design and how they felt. After an extended absence, I returned to karate in July of 2002. I busted out my old gear and used it for a few months.
   
   However, at my first tournament I almost got disqualified for wearing foam boots that were too small. So I donated my pads to the dojo and bought a brand new set of black vinyl Tiger Claw 2000 gloves and Tiger Claw 2000 Action Kick boots. I'm still sparring with them today as a black belt.
   
   I prefer the Tiger Claw 2000 vinyl material over the shiny foam. The vinyl just looks and feels better to me. In addition, many foam gloves use a rigid tab or strap to constrict your fingers and force your hand into a fist, making it difficult to do open-hand techniques. Plus they are slippery, especially when wet with sweat. Finally, they have an annoying tendency to wrinkle and crack at the stress points.
   
   However, the best part about the Tiger Claw 2000s is that they are flexible and conform to the shape of your hand (there's a pad running across the palm that helps you make a good fist). This frees up your fingers so that you can easily do open-hand, grappling, and jujitsu techniques. The hook-and-loop velcro closure is solid, although sometimes one side of the wrist flap will ride up a bit. The padding is good enough so that you can do a crisp backfist with light contact on someone's headgear. And your knuckles are still adequately covered for straight-punch techniques.
   
   Overall, the Tiger Claw 2000 gloves (and Tiger Claw 2000 Action Kick boots) are an excellent, inexpensive choice for dojo and tournament sparring where contact is held to a minimum. They've held up well for over four years, and I'm quite happy with them. Recommended.

1. I didn't buy this particular item from Amazon, I bought it off of Imerial Weapons' website a few years ago because Amazon didn't offer it at the time. I've had this Katana for almost 4 years old now and it is an incredible object worth every penny of the asking price. This is definitely a sword for the serious collector who values functionality at affordability. It DOES withstand the rigors of cutting exercises as the product entails. It DOES feel incredibly solid upon impact with the target (always use something no harder than a dowel rod; use cardboard tubing, boxes, tashegimi mats if you can afford them, etc.). Before you test make sure you have some training as to how to use one of these. EDGE ALIGNMENT IS CRITICAL WHEN YOU ARE DOING CUTTING DRILLS!! These swords are incredibly sharp, quick, and light and a slight miscalculation or twist of the wrist on your part could end the life of your sword and/or end you up in a hospital needing a fair amount of stitches, both will ruin your day. Treat it with respect as it is the real deal! Another thing as well: DON'T FORGET TO OIL THE BLADE BEFORE YOU SHEATH OR STORE IT!! The blade is made of 1095 High Carbon Steel which means that it is highly prone to rust! One simple fingerprint on the blade will cause a rust mark if not cleaned off, and depending on the placement of said fingerprint, it can compromise the integrity of the blade if not treated. I recommend spraying WD-40 or rubbing vegetable oil on the blade and wiping it clean with a rag or a soft paper towel before sheathing (don't worry if there is still residual oil on the blade, it's good for the steel and creates a protective moisture barrier). I also recommend picking up a sword cleaning kit (look up Sword Demon on Amazon, he sells them for like $8.00) to look after your investment. The one thing about Good, Real Katanas is that they last hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. This sword is the real thing and if you take care of it, it will last you way past your children's, children's, children.
