5.0 out of 5 stars Nice set for the price, December 13, 2005

This review is from: 1 Black and 1 Natural Wooden Bokens set of 2 Training Swords (Misc.)

I was impressed with the quality of these Bokens. The natural wooden boken is very heavy and solid, it has the weight and feel of a metal sword. The black boken is very lightweight but still quite strong. I wouldn't recommend hitting anything very hard with the black one though, as it does seem like it could break pretty easy. The black sword is good for practicing swings as it's very light, the natural wooden sword is great for actual combat practice. The tips of the swords are quite pointy so that's something to take note of.

These training swords measure around the same length as a normal sword. Very nice for practice!

This product is as advertised. Both Bokens are usable and
suit my purpose for practice, and the price was right. I would do business again with this vender and delivery was quick.

This review is from: 1 Black and 1 Natural Wooden Bokens set of 2 Training Swords (Misc.)

The items arrived pretty quickly and I was excited to get them so soon. However, being used to fine worksmanship, I was pretty disappointed with these. Both bokkens have lateral curves to them that become distracting when you are at a guard stance. The manufacturer (Made in Taiwan) didn't sand the wood (oak) well before they painted/varnished it so it looks and feel pretty unfinished and the grains stand out. If you're a martial arts purist, don't get this. Pay more and get a better one or make your own. This is basically a curved stick... not that there's anything wrong with that for basic practice.
