Hanwei Shaolin Jian Question Feb 3, 2012 23:04:52 GMT

I really like the design of this sword, much more so than even some of the custom Jian that I can find. My question is, has anyone sharpened one and used it to cut with? Does this Jian suffer from the same handle problems that causes it to loosen like the Adam Hsu Jian does? I would think that it could be a light cutter with the right edge on it. Also, is the blade stiff or whippy?
Thanks

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
