Welcome....to the new Tiger's Den website !

This new home page is now up and the rest of the site will be added in due course. Please note that site navigation links won't all work until the new pages have been added

I'm very pleased to say that the workshop is open again after being closed for nearly a year. I am currently working through a stack of back orders and it will probably be the second half of 2013 before I will be able to begin working on any new orders


I would like take this opportunity to extend a sincere thanks to all my friends and customers who have been incredibly supportive and understanding over the past couple of years, during what has been a very difficult time for me.

Whilst I have been unable to work, I have been able to comtinue rmy research into antique Chinese swords and weaponry, and have continued to design and develop my Chinese wooden swords.

I have some improvements planned for the existing mujian, have a wooden shuang shou jian in production, and designs sorted for several Chinese dao, including liuyedao, yanmaodao and Miaodao, lots more ideas, lots more planned and I'm really excited to be back working again!
