@blueshadow1337 Remember that back in those days, foot long lumps of metal, wood or combinations were actually common propositions, such as the dagger.

@shiguaman Remember that China and Korea exploded with completely custom weapons - they didn't have a smaller country with a widely revered-accepted weapons tradition as in ritual Japan. Like ancient Gaelic and Celtic traditions, China and Korea both drew heavily upon legend and mythology for recording their history, turning heroes to kings and gods. This meant people invented all kinds of weapons, practical or not, a lot like today's weapons geeks and nerds, and new ways to use them.

Gunsen may be of any length, really. But most fans were short because they're supposed to look innocent and many fans were hung from the breast on armor. Would you really want a foot long lump of metal swinging and getting in the way as you rode your horse?

@blueshadow1337 but i thought they were very similar the tessens ive seen were almost identical in size as my steel fan

It is. It's just not a _Chinese_ fighting fan.
-
@blueshadow1337 so that isn't a fighting fan?

Does your fan make a cracking noise when you snap yours open? (I think store-bought fans achieve this by the snapping of the fabric)

@SavageInsight
No. It's a dull thud like sound instead of a sharp snap. The fabric I used was scrap cotton and the weave stretches so it sounds very low and bass. Mostly just can't hear it. The snap comes from the tightly stung cloth which does not stretch and makes a noise for the same reason a guitar string does.

oh... well the ancient chinese used steel fans of 13 inches, with a sharpened edge like a blade. they didn't use them supposedly as disguised weapons. instead, they used them in full out fights. it was an art in kung fu as well, with showy colorful fighting fans

@shiguaman
Yeah, China and Japan had different types of fans and they used they used them differently, that's all.
