1 comments about Fox Labs 2ox Pepper Spray.
- The Fox Labs pepper spray to date has been the hottest/most intense spray and it works on contact. The carrier strips the oils and opens the pores allowing the product to work on contact. The low % of oil allows the spray to atomize into a very fine spray.
I talked to a police officer who uses Sabre Red pepper spray. Sabre Red is what he uses on someone who is low on the resistance level. He uses FOX Labs for someone who is dangerous and extremely violent. HE said it has worked every time. If you are looking for a good pepper spray that is legal in all states I would get the Fox Labs 5.3 formula. The quality and effectiveness of this product is unsurpassed by any other product I have seen in use.

3 comments about Black Zatoichi Style Stick Sword.
- Ok, the sword's appearance is pretty nice, it didn't dissapoint in that area.
I suppose I'm not a blind swordsman, so I can't really complain, but it's about as sharp as a butter knife, possibly a little more dull.
The sword fits in the scabbard well enough, but when sheathing it gets stuck at the end, and you have to force it just the right way, and it's not as clean as I'd like it to be.
All petty nitpicking aside, it's a nice show piece, maybe with a little sharpening I could become a blind samurai!
- I got this in the mail yesterday. It arrived in a long box filled with packing peanuts. After digging around in the foam clumps I retrieved the black and white spoted box which held this sword.
After examining it I found out a few things. I got a blade that was worth the cost paid for it.
The detail in the dragon carving on the sheath is nice. I can see some glue around the top of the pommel where the blade connects to the grip. However it is not distracting or noticable unless you look closely.
Its balance is okay, but it is no toy for it does have an edge. With enough force you can injure someone, especially if you stab them.
This is something that can be used for practicing swings as well as just admiring.
The blade is covered with oil when delevered. You can wipe it off, or leave it on if you do not intend to use it. The oil does preserve the condition of the blade which is a plus when it is not being used.
Overall this is a great purchase. However I do not think this sword could survive combat without being chipped. Not sure about the quality of the steel used in creating it. So its a great blade to admire and own if you have no intentions of practicing actual swordplay with it.
- It was fair in craftsmanship. The blad was slightly crooked, but that was the only thing I could find wrong with it. The carving in the sheath was beautiful, and my boyfriend loved his gift.

2 comments about Zetsurin Warrior Katana Sword, Full Tang, Razor Sharp, Battle Ready.
- This is my first katana. I carefully reviewed around 50 before chosing this one, carbon steel, low price, durability of the blade, and style of wood, hilt were main considerations important to me.
I feel very satisfied now.
Any parents out there buying for children, this is not a toy. Its a sharp weapon, the real deal.
I watched a video of this cutting through large bamboo and stuff easily. Which any young one might severly wound themself or someone else, even cutting off a limb.
Con: The detachable throwing blade sucks sorta, except maybe as a letter opener.
- One of the most unique and beautiful swords I have seen for sale. I love the white cord wrapped around the handle and the lack of a tsuba(hand guard) really makes it stand out. The scabbard contains a small knife called a kozuka, which is basically a letter opener(no really, I'm serious). The blade is extremely sharp and looks exquisite when cleaned. I can't really think of anything negative about this sword, just buy it.

3 comments about Martial Arts Foot / Kick Pads.
- These foot/kick pads are awesome. They are made of high quality leather, and give great ankle support. I appreciate the protection they afford me, as well as my sparring partner. Real quality at a reasonable price.
- Like most people, I hate wearing footgear and find shin/instep pads much more comfortable. That's fine for competition, but if you're practicing with your dojomates or sparring with your students, you'd should really use a little extra protection for them.
Unlike other footgear, they don't shift in place at all; you don't even need to use the toe tabs inside. The insides stay relatively dry too, instead of turning into a big sloppy sweaty mess like foam-dipped Macho gear. Your entire foot maintains contact with floor surface, which is a major plus. The padding is much thicker than normal, despite the boot feeling much lighter on your foot.
I'm so enthusiastic about these because I've tried so many different footpads over the years and these are the first ones I've ever liked.
(Their customer service is good too, for the record.)
- I've used the foam standard shoes and after wearing out another set I looked around for something different. As the other reviewer points out, sometimes full foot protection is a good thing.
Protection wise and comfort wise, they seem great. I've always in the past gotten bruised on the top of the foot right between shoe and shin and these go up a tad higher. The ankle is protected firmly as well.
Stink and duration factor is to be determined.
Size wise, I got the small, being between a small/medium officially. The small fits fine so if you are in doubt, go for the smaller size. Remember you aren't wearing socks!
I don't think the toe loops are that great, I tried a few practice kicks with them on. But no loss as the shoe fit doesn't need it. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!
Ps: there's two loops on the inside, so each shoe can be worn either right or left with the loop which means no fumbling to figure out how to put it on, if you do choose to use the toe loop. Or I guess you can stick some other toes in though that seems to be a recipe for a broken toe.

2 comments about Stealth Ninja Tanto Black w/ Blowgun Handle.
- The blade is actually quite nice and very comfortable in the hand. The actual blowgun handle is a bit difficult to place into the rubber grip as it is the backbone of the knife itself. Cool little piece for a collection. Good product overall.
- I really like this knife. It was much longer than I expected it to be and it is nice and heavy. The second part of the blowgun that fit in the handle was a little hard to get in and out, but it is becoming easier. It would have been nice if it had a better sheath for the darts because they just stick in the side of the knife sheath. I give it four stars because it was difficult to get the second piece of the blowgun in and out, and the darts were a little cheaply made. One didn't fit in, and the other slid out too easily. I had ordered more darts. Also, the dart rubber feathers were not put on very well, but nothing some glue couldn't fix. It really fires well though, and all in all, I am very happy with this knife.
