Too light, too bendy, came slightly bent |

Out of my small collection of PP and wooden bokkens, this one is the lightest at 476g (measured myself, just sword with the tsuba it came with, without the saya).
Since it's so thin, the sword isn't very stable, as such, mine came slightly bent. It's not much, but you can definitely see it crooked looking down the sword.
It's not from the shipping from e-bogu, as it's shipped with my other wooden one, and the packaging is well packed.
Must be either manufacture defect, or got shipped bent when shipped from manufacturer to e-bogu.
About the bendy, the tsuba is a custom tsuba made for this sword, not the usual one, and it was also more rubbery/bendy than the usual one...not good.
So in terms of practical use of this, I wouldn't use this to practice iaido with it.
Only plus is it looks cool...but that's about it.
Disappointing.
