Martial Arts Fan Self Defense Weapon

Decent, though it could have been a little heavier. The characters are actually traditional Mandarin Chinese, not Japanese Kanji, though the meaning of the characters is correct. Overall, not a bad purchase for practice.

This is definitely not weapon grade like I expected. I paid 30 bucks for a pretty fan for my sister instead of getting her a functional weapon that I expected. If its for display its great, but the metal pieces holding the fan together are extremely flexible, and I didn't dare play rough with it. Shame on me for NOT READING THE DESCRIPTION FIRST

When I opened the fan, none of the metal was glued to the fabric. I tried to use Elmers to reattach the blades, but it bled right through the fabric. I just returned it and asked for a replacement. I think I'll put it on display, but it's not quality enough to open it very often.

The glue that holds the fabric material to the metal doesn't hold up even under the most casual use. When I tried to glue it myself it bled through the fabric and ruined the fan. It's a terrible product that deserves a zero star ranking.
