Have one of their octagonal section bladed ones. No real problem with the tang, the hole drilled for the pin was a bit off center but acceptable. I'll take a look at the threaded weld section in a couple days when I get time if you're willing to wait and hear my feedback. Lol

sounds good! I watched Swordsage's review of one of their old models and he seems pretty happy with it too!

Oh for sure, the style you're wanting I see no real issue with. My own example loosened quickly to the point I needed to remove the hilt entirely, and for han style jian i wouldn't recommend them. However they seem to do better with their later style sword.

Hi! I found this old thread where a member disassembled some Chinese swords and compared the tangs.

sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/33040/tang-comparison

It turns out that the problem isn't so much the tangs but that a lot of jian handles are just hollowed out tubes! If the tiny metal pin breaks, your left with a rotating handle! The Hanwei jian by Scott Rodell however is nice, sturdy, and built like a tank!

I'm not sure if Sinoswords ever resolved this problem but my guess is not. Most modern Chinese swords tend to be neglected and few people ever take them apart to see what's inside!

Seems like they would be nice fixer uppers. I'm okay with short cuts taken to save me money, if they are easily fixable

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

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 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

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT
