Cold Steel Bokken, Hundreds of years ago, the Japanese discovered a simple truth; that to become a good swordsman you'll have to practice, a great deal. To become a great swordsman you'll have to practice with a "live blade". And during the period between 'good' and 'great', you should spend your time building your skills and confidence enough to wield a razor sharp Katana safely and effectively. To accomplish this, the Japanese relied on a simple wooden sword called a "bokken" for much of their training. It was made from the super tough wood of the Japanese Green Oak tree, a wood they called Kashi. The swords produced from this wood had the advantage of replicating the size, weight and feel of a steel sword, while minimizing the possibility of causing grievous or permanent injury to those who used it. Authentic Kashi wood bokkens are still used today, but are becoming quite costly. They also have the disadvantages, being made of wood, that they may rot, crack split or splinter. Cold Steel's solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements. This bokken is made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicates a real Katana in length, size, weight and feel. And while it is not quite as rigid as wood, it has the advantage of being virtually unbreakable as well as remarkably stiff and cut resistant. And, when you're ready for a "live blade", your bokken is still a great candidate as a "last ditch" hide out weapon that can be hidden just anywhere inside or outside your house.

This bokken is perfect for your practice needs! My friends and I have for some time been spending lazy evenings hammering away at each other (safely of course!) and have gone through more than our fair share of wooden bokkens; the shock of a bokken against a weighted spear head just can't hold up. this brings me to my review of the Cold Steel Bokken. This thing can take a serious beating in the hands of athletic men, not just a kids toy, who are intent on a heavy swing. I do not recommend just swinging these things as hard as you can against each other to see when they will break, but they serve their purpose well.
The reason I did not give them 5 stars is that the handle is formed in a way that it makes it slightly hard to hang on to as your hands begin to sweat. I advise any one practicing to wear gloves of some sort any way because a knuckle hit is hard to forget, so it should not pose much of a problem. |

Don't buy this. after a good work out, the handle gets too slippery as opposed to a nice wooden bokken.
also, upon impact, the vibration of this bokken is horrid. |
| Fantastic practice sword, really stands up to almost anything | 2008-12-13 | 5 / 5 |

So far this has been my favorite practice sword. I just bought my second one. They are incredibly durable and though they may get gashes from heavy abuse, they maintain their shape and show no signs of cracking or potential breakage. I've gone through 4 wooden bokken in the time that my first one has lasted. I only recommend putting some form of additional grip on the sword's handle to add comfort and prevent sweat from making it slippery.
Great product and recommended to all martial arts enthusiasts. |

| Great and tough Cold Steel makes great products, but it is a little on the light side for a good work out. |

I actually use two at the same time to practice, yes I am that good!!!
Love the weight, almost like using a real sword!! and durable too!!!
Last boken you'll ever buy, trust me, it's indestructible!! |
