Product Description

Authentic Kashi wood Bokkens are still used today, but are becoming quite costly. They also have the disadvantages, being made of wood, that they may rot, crack split or splinter. Cold Steel’s solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements.Our Bokken and our new Wakazashi Bokken are made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate a real Katana and Wakazashi in length, size, weight and feel. While they’re not quite as rigid as wood, they have the advantages of being virtually unbreakable and remarkably stiff and cut resistant.

This product lived up to what I had read about it during my product research. One of the key things I was looking for was a waster that weighed and handled like a true medieval sword but that was more durable than a wooden sword and wouldn't splinter when it broke. I found it to be balanced and extremely sturdy while approximating the shape and form of a medieval sword and well suited for training. I expect to get a great deal of use out of it in the coming days.

Regards,
James Robertson

I received a pair of these from my wife for a Yule gift and am happy with them. As the others said, a bit heavier than expected but still nice and solid. They do take a beating and survive well.
My one concern is the point. I don't like the points for wasters as it makes thrusting dangerous, even with protection. I simply blunted the points of mine by whittling them down somewhat.
Well done Cold Steel.

First thing I did with this is pulled it out of the box and beat a tree with it. Not a single scratch and the tree has dents in it. Remarkable durability.
