  Top Quality BIO Treated Shinai - "KAI" Dobari Style (Completely assembled with Top quality leather) Size 39
 
 
"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.

Light Feel. May 2, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous person  
I'm 5'4 approxmately 125lbs. I bought this as my Second shinai, and I Had my first practise today with it. It has somewhat of a light feel to it. very durable, and what can I say, I'm more than satisfied, but..the only thing i'd say is, I have small hands, and the handle is a bit thick, lol but if you get used to it, that shouldnt be a problem. Hope this helps.

Light feel. March 2, 2007
Reviewer: John Crawley from San Pedro, CA United States  
Like the Mino, this Kai Dobari Shinai is superbly crafted but has a lighter feel to it. The tip feels lighter so I feel like I am able to move it faster. Great value for money. (Looks great too).
So nice I bought another one as a backup.

Excellent Shinai for Practice and Competition December 25, 2006
Reviewer: Michael Forte from Ferndown, Dorset United Kingdom  
I have been using this shinai for over a year now and, from the start, I found the balance to be perfect for me.

None of the slats have splintered at all and it still looks fairly new... a very hard-wearing, solid practice and competition shinai... hmmm... I must order a spare...!

...added 25/12/2006... I have just received my new Kai shinai and the build qulaity is identical to my existing one... which is still in pretty much pristine condition!!! Excellent !!!

It's my good shinai April 27, 2006
Reviewer: T. Chan from NY,United States  
Feels like as if was half carbon and half bamboo.
It's way heavier than the regular practice shinai.
(The weight is further towards the tip)
I've had this for a day so far, and it hasn't broken yet
