Blaze Dragon
Blue Belt
I opened a thread a while back on the difference between the oxtail saber and the willow leaf. Got some pretty good answers and input.
Now I am curious as to thoughts on these sabers and if anyone has handled one of them, what your preference is and why. All I've had a chance to handle is the junk practice swords, however would like to save up for an actual blade, for no other reason then to have an actual blade. Of course I'll want to go in the backyard and chop up some mats or the like but I digress.
I have no real interest in the oxtail, however the willow leaf and goose quill both have my eye. What is everyone's thoughts on the goose quill vs the willow leaf? do you prefer one over the other? why or why not?
I'm looking again at ones forged by Huanuo, on a distributor's site Dynasty Forge.
