Description
A bokken (木剣, bok(u), “wood”, and ken, “sword”) is a Japanese wooden sword used for training. Bokken were designed to lessen the damage caused by fighting with real swords and were used for the training of samurai warriors in feudal Japan. If you know anything about swords, you know that metal ones can be unforgiving with mistakes, especially if they’re sharpened so wood bokkens are perfect for safe practice of sword techniques and kata.
This bokken is made from high quality white beech wood and is very sturdy and feels incredible in your hands. Comes with guard and includes one plastic tsuba and one rubber stopper. Beech wood is a very strong hardwood with a tight grain which gives the wood a high shock resistance. This is ideal for wooden weapons to suit practitioners training needs.
