4.0 out of 5 stars
Serious heft, serious power!
Initially looking at this Suburito, I expected it to be like a Boken, light and fast. It isn't. However, that's not to say I don't like it. Its extra heft makes it much harder to block and a much more effective training tool. If you want to build up some arm muscles to use a Katana, or you just want more heft than a Boken, this is a great pick!

Proper use of a suburito
A suburito was never intended for combat rather it's intended to build ones strength & timing! In this way you can hold the lighter katna without feeling fatigue

I practice with my friends daily using these instead of your common boken. We use them as if we were actually fighting for our lives and have yet to break one. Being a sword fanatic and spending a couple years learning to use a blade under a well trained teacher, I would suggest this over any boken any day!
Fits great in the hand, Lightweight, Strong!

Decent, I guess, but too light,

This review is from: Wooden Weapon - Wooden Suburito (Misc.)
I purchased this item in order to be able to practice with something resembling a tachi. Unfortunately, this was much too light -- not sure why the shipping weight is eight pounds (even with the box, it didn't weigh that much). It is not appreciably heavier than the Cold Steel O-bokken. Also, after the first use there was some splintering on the handle and I had to tape it. The finish could be better, but the wood itself appears to be satisfactory.
