We have
developed a new product: Safe sparring sticks, in two models. One is
more flexible and the other is stiffer at the portion close to the
handle.

There's a copycat in mainland using our brand name to sell their
inferior products. These are the screen captures of the confrontation of
the copycat viewable if you click the picture below.

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.
The
interview footage of
Lancelot Chan about German
longsword by MIHK has
been aired.
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.

RSW Basic Grade Stiffness test (against European
steel blunt and RSW Master grade)
RSW
Basic grade was designed for the practitioners who have yet to master
swordsmanship. It is more durable and safe than the master grade with
higher flexibility.
11th June 2015
We were
interviewed by Commercial Radio 903 Holytricky. For those who can
understand Cantonese. you may listen to the interview
here.

We were
also featured in South China Morning Post:
Master Grade 5.0 Custom made long hilt Katana,
standard Katana, custom made Kogarasumaru, custom made Chinese Jian,
custom made Chinese Dao.
Master grade 5.0 has specially reinforced fabric
surface to prevent puncture. Customers may request for this
specification for their orders.
16th March 2015
We have developed a new product "Simple Spear", which
features a flexible shaft and a spearhead that has airbag to dampen
thrusting impact.
Detachable spearhead is available also.
Shown below is a video we practiced freestyle fencing
with the simple spear.
6th January 2015
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.
28th November 2014
Shown below was the custom RSW that modeled after
Hanwei Scottish basket hilt sword.

The blade is wrapped in transparent plastic so no lubrication is needed
for bind and wind. The grip's cross section is improved for better
comfort. The 2 reinforcement aluminum bars run through the guard to the
pommel, providing better resistance to core breakage.

After having sparred intensively with Master Grade
RSW for several hundreds rounds, we are very satisfied by the durability
and safety they achieved. In order to make it the best of the bests, we
will be implementing the flexible tip on every Master Grade RSW by
default to further improve its durability and safety!
The following
video play-list showed the Master Grade Deva Slayer 2.0 in intensive

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.

Absolutely loving the new japanese swords,
Lancelot! Your craftsmanship is excellent-- and the realistic quality of
your swords for sparring and martial arts practice is in my opinion
unmatched. I just hope we have no problems with the local law enforcement
because they look kinda real from a distance! HAHA.... Be well!

Lance, the sabres custom made to model after Hanwei Beile
Dao with modification arrived today. I'm very impressed with
them. These looks a lot more
professional and better made than the standard Dao I last ordered. They feel light to hold but when
you move them
they feel more very substantial like a real sabre. Perfectly balanced and the
handle is comfortable. Stabbing techniques were improved with the straight
profile blade. Well done and thank you.
Grant and I have been playing with those Germans swords
you've made for us, and I have to say that I am really pleased with their
performance. We also slicked them up with baby oil as you suggested, and it
worked great! A little too well, to be honest; I have picked up bad habits
from the way my regular wooden swords grab each other. It was nice to be
able to fight with an SLO (Sword Like Object) that has something like real balance. Well done.
Everyone is thrilled with the swords. Last night really opened up their eyes
to what's like to really fight. Big smiles and laughter all around. You
could easily notice the shift in style after each fighter got hit - no pain,
no restricted targets? Amazing!
