Greetings, just found this tribe(whilst looking for the best place to pose this question).
My question is has anyone tried modifying a Han Wei blade/handle, specifically his line of tai chi swords? I recently purchased one of these swords, and the balance is fantastic, but the handle is plastic. That's gotta go. I was just wondering if anyone has tried modifying these swords in any way, if you have any tips, comments, etc
Thanks in advance

Thu, July 21, 2005 - 10:29 PMi have not playd with the sword in question but i did do a full modification on my katana but i would sugest finding a piece of wood with similar weight as the plastic and you should be fine. -
