Product description:
Black polypropylene bokken with matching scabbard.
This plastic material makes the sword extremely robust. It has the same weight, dimensions and handling as a regular wooden bokken, except that it does not break. This makes this sword perfect for training.
Of course, the material is not the same as traditional wooden swords, but when traditional training methods were established, there were simply no swords of this kind.
Each sword is supplied with a sturdy tsuba made of hard plastic. The handle has a textured, non-slip surface, similar to a bokken with grip tape.
Dimensions and weight:
Length of the bokken: 99 cm
Weight of the bokken (without saya): 570 grams
The sturdy plastic sword sheath is specially adapted to the diameter of the bokken. It is lightweight, yet sturdy.
With strap for fastening.

The item was dispatched very quickly and corresponds exactly to the description. I can't say anything about its use in training yet, but I'm sure it will meet the requirements.
In other words, I am very satisfied!
Thank you.

A very beautiful and robust bokken. If the black on black is too boring for you, the bokken and tsuba can be easily decorated with Edding. However, due to the smooth plastic, the saya needs to be painted over once to ensure that the customised decoration sticks.
Practical: The bokken has a good weight, good ballance and is virtually indestructible. The saya seems a little fragile at first due to the thin plastic, but it can withstand a lot thanks to the flexibility of the material and can easily be reinforced with adhesive tape if necessary. In its basic form, it only holds the bokken as long as it is not tilted forwards. However, this can easily be remedied by sticking a strip of leather/tape or some artificial fur to the inside of the mouth of the sheath - this holds the bokken in all situations and is still easy to draw.
About the shop: The dispatch was super fast and I was informed about every step by email - great service! 👍
All in all a great product, the saya is a great addition to the bokken for authenticity in training, and there is nothing to complain about in terms of price and service. A clear recommendation to buy!
