Hands down, my favorite bokken, yet |

I've had this bokken for about 2 years now. I bought it after things started getting competitive amongst my fellow (male) students trying to be the first to grab the one Iwama-style bokken that belongs to my dojo. The order showed up within a week, without even having to pay for expedited shipping (I live near Seattle).
While still only around 3/4 of the weight of a shinken, I love the additional heft to it compared most other styles of bokken: our practices feature frequent contact between weapons and the additional mass helps to absorb much of the shock.
Even after 2 years of this, there are still no signs of cracks or wood flaws, and there are still no dents that are large enough to stand out (although there is certainly more "texture" to it now, than when it was brand new).
Was this review helpful to you?
