I got these in today. The quality is very nice, they are well shaped and balanced. Fantastic deal for the money. I have seen the same (or extremely similar) bokken available on other sites for more $ for just the daito alone.
They are not glossy (as they appear) so they wont slip a lot when you start to sweat during kata. They are also really dark and at first I thought they were black when I first got them. Actually they are really almost brown as opposed to red (though they are made of red oak, hence the name). I presume the color variations are simply due to manufacturing techniques.

I've been very pleased with this bokken. I haven't found much use for the smaller size bokken, but that's probably because I'm doing Iaido. Good balance, as far as I can tell, and the plastic saya and carrying case are very useful. I worried some that the finish would start to chip away through practice, since it seemed like it was only a red stain and varnish... but so far, despite many dents, it's holding up. The tsuba stays firmly in place, and even the smooth finish hasn't given me many problems (though I thought it would). Sageo on the saya is wimpy, but I'd rather have a wimpy sageo than have to foot the bill for an iaito right out of the gate. A very good deal.

Excellent bokken |

Received my set today. Excellent in all aspects. Has a very nice feel and weight to it, looks absolutely gorgeous. The photo doesn't do the set justice.
Only con is that the tsuba is very difficult to put on, but also holds very snugly once it is so no complaints.

this bokuto is good quality, except maybe it should be listed as brown. other than that, it was heavier than i expected (from another bokuto i had) but i cant complain, free shipping lists as 6-8 days but everything arrived in 3 and a half days! now thats service!
