- this shield is pretty much what you see in the pictures but it was a bit thinner than i expected, but thats ok because its not meant for actual combat so overall i think its a pretty good buy

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

- I don't know how long this price will last, but at a buck twenty-nine, it's a screaming deal. Shipping is 300 percent of the price on the first one, so buy a bunch.
Anyway, on one hand the unlocking mechanism is somewhat dangerous, requiring you to put your hand between the knife and the clasp. On the other, this is a knife, so some sharpness is to be expected. The checked Zytek-like handle is solid but could use sharper detail; it provides only OK grip. The clip a nice compromise between tension and the ability actually to use it.
The drop-point blade comes with average sharpness, but the steel is relatively soft and takes an edge well. The hinge is also the clip attachment and is an Allen screw, potentially very handy, although you'd want to check for looseness every now and then. If you were really ambitious, it makes it super-easy to replace the handle for something a little more grippy.
Ultra light weight, very handy. Perfect backup for boating, hunting, for an emergency toolkit. Nice everyday pocketknife for our country types, or where you might not want to risk damaging/losing your good Buck folder.
