This practice weapon handles very well and feels comfortable in my hands. Its weight in my hands is very comfortable. And I am able to execute all my movements easily with it.

It is worth the price of purchase.

Practice sword is of superior quality. For the price it cannot be beat!

Bought a pair of these for my students too use. They are of good quality and well worth the price. The seller shipped them quickly and in good packaging. Highly recommend this product and this seller to everyone. I will be doing business with this seller for future martial arts equipment. Well done!!!

I didn't expect this to come with a laced grip on the hilt, though I don't mind too much. The bottom of the grip slips off every once in a while (nothing glue can't fix). All-in-all, this is a great tool for practicing swordsmanship. Though I haven't tried it in sparring, the sword works quite well for solo drills.

I'm not an expert in martial arts by any stretch of the imagination, but for the price that I paid I'd have to say that I'm pleased with what I got. Honestly, the hand guard was just annoying for me, and it detracted from the look of the sword. However, I am pleased with the sword itself. I haven't done any sparing with it, and I'm really not planning on doing so. The wood seems dense enough, but it would probably break after a while; but considering the cost, you cannot beat this deal for just a practice sword. I'm overall very pleased.

Easily one of the best quality martial arts items I've found. The weight is incredible and the lettering was a nice surprise and excellently carved. Lastly the cording on the grip was exceptional. I would highly recommend this to anyone on the fence about a practice sword to buy.

This was an excellent transaction. thanks for the speedy shipping and my son really likes the sword for his practice.

With all things considered, i cannot see this boken being made out of descent wood. Within 5 minutes of sparring(3/10 speed), the boken was already splintering, badly. There are also many manufacturing flaws, cracks in the finish as well as the base materiel. Lastly the guard is pretty shoddy. The vibrations made from contact caused the cheaply made plastic to snap in half.

In the picture the sword has a hilt and a sweet thin blade. The sword I got didn't have a hilt and the blade was as thick as a scabbard. Item definitely not as depicted. Pretty unhappy, yo.
