7th March 2018

There were people who raised concern that the RSW would have more air resistance than a sharp sword. Thus I conducted two tests to pit the sharp DS and No Remorse against their RSW version and compared the cutting speed.

23rd May 2017

There were people who think that using RSW to spar cannot do the same line control as the steel sword, since any impact feels different. I did a test side by side, with RSW katana and RSW longsword, as well as a hanwei katana and a windlass 15th century longsword.

I used the katana tip to hit the other sword, with single hand, since my other hand was holding the cam.

On the side to edge impact, it shows that it was exactly behaving the same. On the edge to edge impact, I screwed up the steel part since the windlass 15th century longsword has side rings. The katana's strikes get distracted by the side rings. Still one can see that the result is pretty close despite of that.

Thus using RSW to practice swordsmanship not only allow ones to Fa Ging in the strike but can simulate very well how a steel sword would do in safety.

Shown below was the first Master grade 4.0 RSW, a custom made Chinese 2 handed longsword.

Master grade 4.0 employs a high impact and cold weather resisting material as the core, improving the durability from impacts for two times or above, especially under cold temperature.

As the new core material's cost is higher, and the costs of other materials have increased, we will adjust our price after lunar new year. However, in order to reward the support from our previous customers, they will be entertained with the current price for the whole 2015.

Master grade products:

We have tested a new padding material extensively for months and finally ready to announce it. The new padding provides a much longer endurance for shock absorption ability than the original padding we use, diminishing the need for re-padding. It is especially important for overseas customers where it is inconvenient to send the RSW back to us for re-padding.

The new padding is heavier in weight, though, so it is not suitable for every model we make. If you are interested in purchasing Master grade products, just shoot us an email.
