4 of 5 Oval Tsuka for the win March 30, 2017
Reviewer: John Lillard from Elgin, IL United States  
I'm still pretty new to Nitoryu, but I really appreciate the feel of the oval handle for Nitoryu. It's bigger than most standard 37's, which feels more comfortable to me. It's closer in feel to the regular size 39's. The shape and size aids in reducing fatigue in my left arm (daito arm for me). Maybe it's my technique, but they seem more brittle (perhaps because they are still 37's but you forget that a bit thanks to the tsuka. I like the short tsuka so the tsuba is closer towards my hand during tsubazeriai. The leather on this shinai is very high quality. I hope this helps you select this shinai, and e-bogu as they continue to innovate. E-bogu is still by far the best place to go for Kendo gear in the U.S.

4 of 5 Nice Shinai - Recommended to Nito beginners March 2, 2015
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Moraga  
Bought and used this shinai for the Yuhihai. The oval grip feels great. It makes using nito a bit easier for beginners, in my opinion. If you are thinking about starting nito, this might be a great start before thinking about using a normal shaped tsuka for a shinai.

5 of 5 Dobari Nitoryu Daito Shinai - Amazing feel October 23, 2014
Reviewer: Fahad A. Al-Thenayyan from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia  
The oval grip is very comfortable in your hand and gives you alot of control overall, blade is balanced pretty well. I use it alone, not Nito style and it works wonders!
