Bokken: Japanese Wooden Sword - Black for Martial Arts Practice

I recently ordered both this black bokken and a white version Bokken: Japanese Wooden Sword- Model #3 (White) !! from the same seller. Both bokkens were dispatched almost immediately and the product arrived swiftly, however upon receiving the products the quality varied greatly. While the white one was perfect the black one was light and unsuitable for training, despite the description which claimed otherwise. Upon using both for the first time in light practice the black one snapped while the white one received little to no damage. Contacting the seller I was simply told it was "wear and tear", despite it being the first time it was used, and nothing could be done about it. Sure that the broken black bokken may have simply been a one-off I bought another of the white ones, assured of the quality by the previous white one I had bought. I was greatly mistaken. The second I received varied greatly in quality to my first white one in weight, shape and durability. While the speed of delivery may be quick this is not the product for you if you intend upon using it for practice.

looks good feels well balanced not had chance to use it yet

Bought this for my son to train with for the art of Ninpo Bugai. It is very sturdy, and quite heavy for a Bokken, however. my son was very pleased with it. Thank you.

it does what it does

Good quality
