Partially Hand Made Weapons

A message from Master Alex Dong

These weapons are specially selected by me for my students but are available to all. They are of a higher quality than the ones you find in stores. I asked them to make some specific improvements on the balance, blade and handle, most importantly to assemble the blade and handle carefully so it won't get loose like many others I have seen.

Made to last if you take care of them; kept clean at all times and oiled if not used for a while. Some might prefer stainless steel, but it doesn't have the same feel, it's more generic.

All weapons are made for you when you order; they are not mass produced. You can personalize yours with a name or short message, up to 15 spaces. Designed primarily for my school, each weapon has the words "Dong Ying Jie Taiji Quan" in Chinese characters on one side, and your message on the other. This could also be used by anyone who practices Dong Ying Jie style of Taiji. The double-edge sword also has a Phoenix on one side and a Dragon on the other. In Chinese tradition, the sword can ward off evil and it has good Feng Shui.

I just got my new sword and knife. I love them. Both grips are perfect, both weights are perfect. The sword is probably a little long but handles very nice. Both are way nicer than anything I have ever dreamed of owning. Thank you so much. Toni

Hi Alex. I received the sword today. It was worth the wait. I do not know much about swords, but it is beautiful and it is just the right weight distribution and length for me. It is beautiful craftsmanship. I really enjoy practicing the sword set, at least the part I know. Thanks ! Claire
