Now, obviously during hard practice, oiling can save you a lot, this is an excellent weight bokken if you are interested in the physics of a live Katana without bo-bi, and as a Kenjutsu/Bottajutsu practice weapon, is is grand. It also handles impacts extremely well. The tsuba tends to be related to the luck of the draw, as the tsuba on mine was quite tight, and if used in proper form (aside from popping our of a saya) you will not really touch the tsuba, and it will not move from swings. It is a little bulkier than a usual bokken, which better imitates sword feel, but makes you ill prepared for the grip of a Shinai, and as such, is likely not an ideal piece for Kendo Kata, although, for Iai, I can imagine no better Bokuto.
