Retractable Tai Chi Sword - Blunted Stainless Steel Magic Sword for Kung Fu Martial Arts Exercises and Performance

Great sword. Nice quality, balanced weigh.

I didn't know what to expect when ordering, but I got a pleasant surprise. Very well made for the price and top notch for the display aspect when impressing others.

Bought 2 of these for my T’ai chi classes & encountered the same problem with BOTH….namely, the sword does not retract easily & gets “stuck” at the last section. Therefore, the convenient carrying case can’t be used! It also has a tendency to “retract” when making some of the moves in my T’ai chi routine….laughable, but not conducive to “mindfulness.” Would appreciate any suggestions on a product to use to improve the expansion & retraction of this practice sword. Neat idea, but I certainly won’t buy another one until I come up with a viable solution for this problem.

For what I paid for, this is an interesting piece. Definitely not something to be used practically (if you're looking for a sword for practicing or for actual use, you can find better). As a display item or for cosplay purposes, it's not bad. "A sword for show, not so much for go." (If that makes any sense...) It does get stuck open, but with the right practice and some help (tools, lubricant, a little elbow grease, etc) this can be worked around. All in all, I find interest in this collapsing sword. I'd get a second one, if the price were to drop...

Nice weight and look to the sword. Balance point was in the right spot. Just be careful extending it. If there is too much force, the last two segments of the sword will get stuck and won't collapse. I had to take a rubber mallet to mine to close it.

I measured the blade length as 29", not 39" as stated in the specs. It is the perfect blade length for a jian, with excellent balance.

A mi hijo le encanto

The is a great Tai Chi Sword. It expands well and has a case when it is retracted. It fit my Tai Chi Bag well.

This is ok we needed for Tia Chi sword work. Haven't actually used yet but comes with a cute case. My teacher says its perfect. Lol i prefer the samurai sword lol

Great quality product. It is what I expected. Finish wears off quickly but I guess it’s to be expected.

I can’t believe that I bought a retracting sword that doesn’t retract. I was so excited to get the sword, waiting everyday for it to show up. I saw various reviews online and I saw that this one seemed to be the best. When the sword arrived, I took off the lid and swung it and it extended out, it was beautiful, the look, the feel, the noise. Everything. This was my first sword ever. Until I tried putting it back and retracting it. I tried so hard but it’s not retracting at all. Please refer to the video. I didn’t try any oil or anything, though it may help, it might’ve voided my return (And plus it shouldn’t need any oil!). Extremely disappointed, I can’t find another one on amazon that’s this quality, as most of the other ones are 10$ cheap quality. so I really do hope it was just a defect and maybe I might order another that will ACTUALLY WORK straight out of the box. Again extremely disappointed, and will return. The whole reason why I bought this was for the retractable part and it can’t do that. I’ll order again and edit this review if they send me a working one, or if they fail twice in a row.

Unfortunately, it can retract whilst going thru the set. You must actually flick or pull to extend , then give it a final tug to try to lock it out.
