1.0 out of 5 stars Shoddy at best, November 10, 2008

This review is from: Set of 2 47" Kendo Shinai Bamboo Practice Sword* Katana (Misc.)

Spend your money somewhere else. The swords were shoddy at best. There were none of the rubber/metal pieces that quality shinai have to reinforce the shape and disperse the impact. The four pieces of what seemed to be oak or something similar were glued together under the handle, which also happens to be where the wood shattered during use. Do not recommend.

For those looking for a bargain shinai for kendo, I can't see any school accepting something like this.
