  Top Quality BIO Treated Shinai - "KAI" Dobari Style (Completely assembled with Top quality leather) Size 38
 
 
This is the Size 38 version of our most popular Ibushi Shinai KAI. Weight is approximately 495g and the length 46in/117cm.
"KAI was based on the Shinai that Miyazaki sensei gave to me during his visit to the USA. When I held his Shinai, my impression was how light his Shinai was. I asked if this Shinai had over 510g and his reply was "Of course!". The balance of the Shinai is so exceptional, that makes the Shinai feel so light. So far, I have not had the courage to use the Shinai that Sensei gave to me, but KAI has a very simmilar balance and feel of the Shinai Miyazaki sensei gave me. You will love it!" - Taro Ariga CEO (Kendo Renshi 7 Dan).
The bamboo was specially treated with BIO Technology for durability, giving a dark traditional look. Very beautiful finish. The shape of the shinai is very simmilar to our popular KUNIMASA shinai.

Fantastic February 25, 2009
Reviewer: Juan Carlos Gonzalez from Pineville, NC United States  
I just got this shinai yesterday. It got here just on time for practice. I used it yesterday and it felt great. I love the color and the feeling. It's a little tiny bit heavier than my old shinai, but that's exactly what I wanted because that will make me become faster ^_^

I am delighted with my new shinai, I highly recommend it, it's very strong!
