White Oak Bokken and Plastic Saya |

White oak bokuto is very well made. You can barely tell it’s even wood if you rub it without looking. But the saya pales in comparison, one hand alone is able to very slightly bend the plastic. Maybe polypropylene would make a good saya. Sageo is cheap and feels like it’s cut out of a ribbon roll. Tsuba is good, it’s plastic but very hardy. Habaki material is rubber and does not actually slide into the saya, but it clings onto the bokuto very well. Blade alignment is straight as a ruler and matches the saya perfectly. Bokuto is a little weighty, but that makes it perfect for practicing suburi or strengthening kata.
Overall, the bokuto and bokuto accessories are perfect, but the saya seems like a cheap addition to such fine craftsmanship.
