Product Description

The Waster is one of the oldest forms of practice weapons. Wasters made their first appearance when it became apparent that people needed a way to train with swords without being killed. The Waster can be found in societies ranging from ancient Greece and Egypt to Medieval Europe, Feudal Japan and the modern US. Over the course of its life the Waster has undergone many changes, beginning with a simple the stick, the Waster eventually was made with all the same aspects as a steel sword. In the modern world the Waster still has a large following from Medieval Reconstruction groups, Plays, and the Renaissance Fair following.

I was curious as to how this would hold up as it is being sold as a 'waster'. It is not a waster, for child or adult. By terming it a waster, you are denoting it as able to hold up to sparring and kata work. I took this and one from another seller to my sword group. This one snapped on a simple bounce swing.

One of my teammates works with wood in a furniture shop and agreed with me about this being made from a cheap wood, not a good hard wood like maple or walnut. I also say this is not a toy for kids. The reason for this is the fact that when the blade snapped it left a nice sharp point which could easily injure.

It is a great practice tool but I don't think it would hold up during sparing. Its great for single practice or low contact training with a friend.

My only complaints are that the black stripes on the handle are literally just electrical tape and there is a nail sticking out very slightly on the pommel (only enough for you to know it is there if you grab the pommel, which you won't need to).

i bought one of these a while back and its a piece of junk poorly made falls apart if you decide to use it. and of course its ease of use is ranked its a pretty stick. so save you money and find a normal stick and carve your own.
