Nice Bokuto for Iaido |

I'm practising both kendo and iaido. This bokuto is sightly heavier than other bokuto. The groove makes a low pitch whistle when you are doing a cut with a correct angle. I would recommend not to use this bokuto for kendo kata as this will damage the groove when hitting with an opponent's bokuto.

I so far love this Boken I am a new person to Kendo and Iaido so I think for me I should have gone with another Boken to start, this one is lighter then the red oak ones we use at my dojo and I think for very new people the cut sound is not so important being I find my self trying to make cool sounds rather then slow sturdy cuts and I wish it had more weight to it, I think ill order a red oak one and save this guy tell I know more of the art, as far as quality I am very happy with it is balanced (as far as I can tell any way) and it dos swing very nice, one I learn more I think it will serve me very well!

This bokken is very well made and handles very well. The groove will definately help any Kendoka/Kumdoin to improve their swing - you only get a very nice wind whistling sound when you put effort behind an accurate cut. It will especially help any new martial artist to realise if they are being lazy in their strikes.

Not that great for sneak attacks |

It's pretty good at making big noises. So you have to be extra careful when making a sneak attack against someone. But if you want to use it for kendo, you will surely get the judges attension during the promotional exam because of the noise. Not sure if that would be a good thing or not for u. Aside from that, the sides are easilly chipped because of the groves on the side when kata is performed. Like kata number 3, 4, 5, and 6.

A very well balanced bokken that seems to be very light when you use it. The grooves make a pretty and clear sound and help you to make good moves. The finition and tougthness are outstanding for this price and it comes with the exellant customer service from ebogu. A great bokken for a low price.
