i'm not mary beth that is my mom. she ordered these for me. first thing the handles, on mine atleast, are different they're mostly solid black with a thin gold wrap no where near as large in the photo. aside from that they're awsome. my friend came over and he trains with sai in tung su do and he said they were better than the ones he payed like $40 for.
