Different than pictured.   2010-06-25
By W Daniel Harmeyer (EDGEWATER, MD, US)
Well, everyone else seemed to have gotten a different product than what I got. Mine was not red oak, nor white oak, or any oak I could recognize. Its way too light for its size, and came with the silly handle wrap gimmik (which was NOT pictured.) The product pictured was not the product delivered. The entire lenghth of the thing is covered in knots, and although sanded down, leave serious weak spots in the wood. The product I got is not fit for any kind of contact, and is too wide for good suburi. Forza fans will be happy with this boken, however, since they do not have to preform with them. Next time, I will not try to 'save a buck' and go with the lowest bidder. Its my fault for having done so to begin with.
Great Bokken for Iaido   2010-03-08
By S. Samson (USA)
Honestly, I did not expect much from this bokken despite the positive reviews. I bought this bokken as a spur of the moment kind of thing; I needed one as soon as possible when I first started Iaido, and not knowing where to buy, I turned to Amazon. The bokken is well balanced and its handle has a better shape than my $30.00 bokken. I was so ecstatic when I started doing some iaido forms with this bokken. It has the perfect handle, fair weight and I didn't do handle maintenance with this bokken as I do with my other one. This is also a fairly sturdy bokken, able to withstand the force when I accidentally hit the kitchen counter while doing suburi (empty swinging) with this. I recommend this bokken for the first time iaidoka. This bokken will serve you for many months and probably years if taken care of. This is a great bokken for its price. Please do note that this is not a shinai, so don't try hitting your friends or trees with this thing. It is very likely to break.
Heavy and solid   2010-03-03
By N. Griffin-Lloyd
Definitely on the heavier side of bokken I've owned. It's definitely got heft. Mine came with a wrapped handle, which I promptly removed and then sanded down the handle. This is a high quality bokken. I recommend it.
Beautiful Bokken   2010-01-29
By Gail Mongeon (Burlington VT)
This item arrived at my home on the day of my third Forza Class...very nice. Heavier than the class bokken so a much greater workout. My instructor and the other members of my class who have their own Swords were impressed with the balance and distinctive rich deep brown color. For a generic Practice Daito Sword, (not that I have had much experience), this weapon is most satisfactory. I look forward to getting lots of use from this lovely piece of wood.
Very nice solid bokken!   2009-11-30
By FIRCAS (caracas, VENEZUELA)
Is a very solid bokken a little bit heavy, but it looks durable, comes with a plastic handguard remobable, well finished. Is made of hard wood, natural wooden color. It came in a huge Amazon package that i think was useless because the boken has a little chink on the tip and it semmed that was caused in the box by the look of the package. I highly recomend this boken!
