Developed in response to requests from wushu practitioners for swords with ultra-flexible blades, the practical wushu (SH2062) sword from hanwei has a spring steel blade that tapers to almost paper-thin at the tip. The light weight (barely one pound) of the sword makes it extremely fast in skilled hands. Overall: 36 1/2" blade length: 30" handle length: 6 1/2" weight: 1lb point of balance: 2 1/2" width at guard: 1.11" width at tip: 86" thickness at guard: 16" blade steel: 1566.

Very nicely made. True to the description
Very nicely made. True to the description. Definitely "ultra-flexible" and good weight. I only sent it back because I need one with less flexibility for a student. I would buy from FuddleBucks again. They were exceptional about the returned product.

Fun sword, but not for competition.
I have been using this sword amongst 2 other swords for straight sword forms in wushu. The great thing about this sword is its lightness, you can swing this sword around extremely quickly almost like a broad-sword. It is balanced a little too hilt heavy so it balance right on the guard, I think most people used to wushu swords are used to blades that are more blade heavy. This sword is OK to practice with if you do not intend to compete in a tournament since this sword does not qualify for tournament usage under Beijing rules, this is why I use the two other swords most of the time for practice. I think this is a great sword for performing exhibitions though.
