Sturdy bokken from nice wood	July 12, 2013
Reviewer: David E from Carlsbad, CA United States

I use this for kendo kata and contact drills in iaido. I used it for iaido kata before getting my iaito. It has held up well. It is slightly dented by now and the stain from darker colored bokken has rubbed onto it in some places, but this is to be expected and the dark stain seems to come off with enough effort. I do not see a weight listed, so I will mention that I measured mine with a balance scale and the mass was 565g with the tsuba and stopper. A straight line from the tsuba to the tip is 29.5" or 75cm. The point of balance is about 6.5" / 17cm from the tsuba.

Excellent!	December 8, 2011
Reviewer: Grant K from California, USA

The quality of this bokken is amazing for the price. My sensai can't stop talking about it and has recommended it to countless students. Great shipping, received the bokken 3 days after I ordered it. Can't say enough good things about e-bogu. I will continue to use e-bogu for all my martial arts purchases.

Incomparable	April 24, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from SLC, Utah

I have purchased and handled various red oak bokuto in the past, so I never knew what a bokuto made of a different wood would feel or look like. When it arrived, however, the beautiful grain and finish of the bokuto were completely incomparable to all the other bokuto that I had handled before. The weight, balance, and overall feel and look of the bokuto is wonderful.

The products are really satisfactory, just as they are shown in your webpage.
Thanks a lot. I will practice my best aikido with the beautiful ebogu weapons

QUALITY IS SUPERB	March 29, 2010
Reviewer: EUGENE G BARNES from HILLIARD, OH United States

I RECEIVED IT FROM E-BOGU. SHIPPING TO MY HOME IS SWEET BUT FAST. NO HASSLE. WOW. ANY JAPANESE WOODEN WEAPONS THAT MADE IN JAPAN IS SUPERB. I BOUGHT ONE RED OAK BOKKEN THAT MADE IN CHINA, OH MY MY, POOREST BALANCE AND WORST QUALITY. BUT THIS BOKKEN FROM E-BOGU IS SWEET. OH MY, I CAN NOT BELIEVE. I SHOULD PUT E-BOGU TEN STARS INSTEAD OF FIVE. :)

I humbly thank you all.	March 26, 2010
Reviewer: Travis S soleski from Redlands, CA United States

Wonderful bokken and thank you so much for the gift, something that I will use all the time ( ice pack/hot pack ). Love the grains in the wood of the bokken. It is a piece of art, THAT will be used. But still excellent craftmanship.

Bokken Quality	February 25, 2009
Reviewer: Mark from Somersworth, NH United States

This is a really nice Bokken, it balances well, has nice weight and is durable. For the price it can't be matched and should last for years. Definately one I will keep using and trust me when I say that I have plenty I don't use and plenty that I will use to start a nice fire some day.

Wow!	April 24, 2008
Reviewer: Edward Stewart from Austin, TX United States

I recently placed my first order with e-bogu, and as a long time practitioner of the Japanese martial arts, I am very selective concerning the quality of my garments, and gear. I can honestly say this is an "exceptionally" nice bokken. It has very nice balance, and the quality of the design, the wood, the woodgrain, and the finish, are better than bokkens, that I have seen in the $100.+ price range. If you are interested in buying a high quality bokken, trust me, you will not be dissappointed with this one. Thanks, e-bogu!

Reviewer: Frederic from franconville, france France

I was very suprised by the balance of this bokken, by the quality of the wood. No hesitation for this price!! I tried a lot of bokken by another companies (much more expensive), but this one is the best ! Many thanks for ebogu for this quality !
