The_tragedy Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 I live in Canada and im lookin for a specific sai, a Sai sword type, the shaft of the sai is a blade, kinda like from the movie elektra does anyone know where i can get one, plz help Never let your life end without your friends.
Sphinx Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Hey, A couple of years ago i found myself in the same situation.... When i saw Elektra in the Daredevil film. The advise i got was that sais arn't meant to be bladed, they are far to dangerous for a begginer and it isn't traditional. I settled for 21 inch hexagonal blunt sais insted, just until i can get a feel of them. Since then i haven't had any luck finding a bladed pair. If you type in~ factoryX Sais ~under google you will find a pair of replica elektra sais similar to the ones in the comic...the ones with the snakeish vine things up the side prongs. They're pretty kool but they don't have the kool pattern like off the Elektra film. Apart from that you could talk to a custom weapon maker. The one i was emailing refused to make them, so GOODLUCK. Keep me posted !!! Buy low, sell high, take your pills, tell your lies, fake your tan, wear a tie, go to the gym, you'll never die !!!
The_tragedy Posted July 22, 2005 Author Posted July 22, 2005 Yea but........dont Hexagonal and Octagonal Sai chip easir than a round sai? well sure they are good for striking. Never let your life end without your friends.
kiba no chi Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 I dont realy know, im guessing they would chip easier due to the sharper edges but i dont know much about sai, only bokken, katana, wakizashi, bo, jo, broadsword, bow & arrow, yari, naginata, and kali sticks for me... oh and kama of couse. How many blosom's are on that tree?It is impossible to count,The number's continuoulsy change.
Sphinx Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Elektrtas sais are a semi-flat diamond shaped blade. And if you look closely at the scene near @ start where she throws her sai and stabs the dude through the chair, when she goes to pull it out you can see that there is a curved blunt section on each side of the blade for gripping for manipulation. Whick explains how she can spin them without cuting her fingers off! I really like the patterns, they would be awesome for display! Are they japanese symbols or just scratchy markings? Buy low, sell high, take your pills, tell your lies, fake your tan, wear a tie, go to the gym, you'll never die !!!
Enviroman Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 It could just be me, but a lot of you guys seem awfully oung to be purchasing these sorts of weapons...

sdargie Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 How old do you have to be to buy sai? O Sensei said that everyone has a defined sphere of strength and if you can get them outside that sphere then their strength will disappear. I say, EXPAND YOUR SPHERE!
yamesu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 99Seriously,If your in the US prob' 21, depending on the state.I dont live there so I cant give you info.Check out your local laws. "We did not inherit this earth from our parents. We are borrowing it from our children."
sdargie Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I bought some after I turned 20. There was no mention in any catologue about an age requirement. Are there requirements like this in other states besides Mass?
