any one like chinese sword?

[Ed Mao]

Liu Haiqing is a master of sword, he live in Longquan of China. You might know sword but you may not know more about the Chinese sword. It is different from samurai sword. Chinese sword look for peace and balance.

To be lucky, Longquan is also my hometown. When I turn to my job as a foreign salesman, I realized it is a good chance to popularize the swords and culture. Now I am doing the work to sell swords, both Chinese sword and samurai sword like the one in the walking dead.

Welcome, over there (are you still in China? Or just from China?)

Scroll down on the forum list to the "Non-Firearm Weapons" section, and you'll likely find more kindred spirits there..

Mr. Mao, welcome to THR.

While you can't sell directly in this NFW forum, you are welcome to show pictures of your sword here, and explain why your company makes such a good product.

Are these WuShu swords? Are they identical, or is each unique?

I've trained in the sword in Tai Chi and have a Jian.

I'm not familiar with Mr. Liu Haiqing or his work nor can I find anything on him.

Please do post information on his shop and work and blades, but as John said we do not allow marketing or selling of products in the discussion forums.

When I practiced Hung Gar Kung fu we had a sword vs spear kata. I liked the Chinese sword. That kata was one of my favorites.

Hi there, thank you for your advise. I live in China now.

Dear John,
Thank you . and so sorry for my mistake, mostly I'd like to discuss with guys about swords, not just to sell, I will remind. Any way, I'm glad to be here.

Yes, they are Wushu sword, and unique. In the story of some heros, every hero take the unique sword to fight.

I think it is very interesting, so I posted some pictures for you.

Yes, I will not sell anything in forums. Hso, are you still practising Tai chi now?
Yes, we also call the sword "Jian" or "Bao Jian" Different sword has different function.
The jian of Tai chi is more light and thin, with beautiful tassel, the action of wave is very nice.

Hung Gar Kung fu? It is very popular in China! Anyway, have you heard about "Wing chun"?
I guess you have. Bruce Lee's master, Yip Man, is the master of Wing chun...

Ed,

John

It depands. HCS or stainless steel...different customer has different requirement...

 

[hso]

Which high carbon steel is used?

Also, who is producing the damascus steel Liu Haiqing used in the sword you pictured?

the sword posted is in pattern steel 608. Sorry I am not clear with the steel producer....
You are professional in this, do you have any picture of your sword my friend?

 

[ironworkerwill]

May we see a picture of the sword making process? Does the blade steel come in billets or preformed blanks?

 

[Ed Mao]

The sword is made with different parts. Customers even can buy customized one, so it is come in performed blanks. Regarding the picture of progress, maybe I can take one next time while view a workshop.

 

[Officers'Wife]

here is another picture, my friend.

Beautiful, is that folded blister steel or commercial high carbon? My uncle used to speak of a man in Korea that made his own blister steel for blades and that the practice was common with craftsmen in Asia. Folded blister steel produced by a master of the art makes the finest blades in my humble opinion.

Yes, you are right. I like the pattern very much. A master of the art usually spend one year to make just one or two works, and it is very previous....
Anyway, the technology is very mature in my hometown now, especially for the some local workshop.

I've studied a bit of Wing Chung as well. I liked it. I am very familiar with Yip Man. There was a very good movie about him that came out within the last five years or so. It had subtitles and was likely shown in China. I also studied a bit of Tai Chi and Kenpo karate.

I recommend another movie about Yip Men to you, “the grandmasters” by Wong Kar Wai.
But I also guess you may have viewed it.

Are you studying Taichi by yourself or some organizations?
