WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY
Well, I've recently bought this bokken, it's my first and have only
trained with it once, but i think it's awesome.
The bokken grips quite well and the weight is certainly a major plus.
Also, the Hi makes a fun little noise, which actually makes me focus more
on the power of the swing. Overall, the sword is of good quality and i'm
very pleased. 5/5
This is a really nice wooden katana, perfect for training. It's very
smooth and has no flaws or splinters. The bokken is stylish.
The weight is decent so that you don't hurt your wrists when holding it
and striking with it. It's easily controllable when you swing it.
