Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Unlike most poorly manufactured and shoddy wooden practice katanas, this sword brings to both stability and practicality. With a comfortable cord wrapped handle and sturdy construction, this practice sword will last through many rigorous training sessions. Guard and no longer includes oversized ruuber band brace, now ships with normal style rubber band brace, not pictured. If you are going to practice, why not use a practice sword that feels and grips like a real sword? Measuring: 39' Overall, 30' Blade Portion Length.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good stuff
its hard wood, its black, it hurts when you get hit with it, it's perfect



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Black Cord Wrapped Boken Daito Wood Practice Sword
A decent item for extremely light use. Use with any regularity more often then extrememly light results in the "cord wrap" sliding around and falling off; leaving a a very sticky glue film behind. Very light in weight though, so anyone can use it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great for the price
At only $9, this is an exelent buy. I have been using this thing for almost 2 years with great results.
Pros:
Wrapped handel is very professionaly done.
Very comfortable and lightweight.
Realistically sized and scalled.

Cons:
The center of ballence is not exactly in the center.
Chips and dents very easily (this is not for dueling!)

It's basically for play (or cosplay) for Comic Con as something that can look like a sword in in it's scabbard. Since I'm not going to be hitting things with it, I feel happy that I ordered from Sword ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a word to the wise
as i was very pleased with the boken, i wouldnt suggest buying from other than sword demon. i bought mine from another and not only were there some dents in it but when it got here it was missing a piece and i had to contact the seller to get them to send a replacement. be sure to get the sword, the hard plastic guard AND the rubber piece that goes over the hard plastic guard. i originally bought two other bokens from sword demon before i got this one. but because i wanted a slightly cheaper product, ...
