2 Pcs Set Wooden Kendo Practice Bokken Katana Sword Reviews
| 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Worth the money and elbow grease, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: 2 Pcs Set Wooden Kendo Practice Bokken Katana Sword (Misc.) I bought this pair of practice swords for my wife and myself to train together. While it is difficult to see in the photo, they are straighter than the traditional bokken katana, and an inch shorter. At 21 oz, they weigh about the same. The pair came in dark brown stained wood, though I have seen other reports where someone got one brown and one black one. The only real negative points were that 1) the end of the pommels needed to be sanded down, especially if you slip your pinky around the end, as in some styles (a litle sandpaper takes care of this) and 2)the wrapping of the hilt is freehand, with no method to holf it in place. This means that you will need to take a toothpick and white glue, and glue along under each turn of the wrapping to keep it in place. That only takes about 15 min per sword. (note added after one month- white glue doesn't hold well in areas of high friction, like near the sword butt, but I have found that a little superglue holds the fabric to the wood.)...

Just received the bokkens. Fast shipping through Amazon Prime and double boxed.My first impression after unwrapping the first sword is the wood seems to be quite good, fairly hard, and the shape/ cut is accurate. My one complaint would be on the finish... the heavy mahogany stain and thick varnish. It looks like the finish was SLATHERED on and then set to dry. There were quite a few imperfections where it looked like something touched it before drying was complete, thus ruining the finish. Additionally the clear varnish is not smooth as it looked like it had not fully cured before being shrink wrapped for packing. Granted in time these swords will be banged around, but I would have expected just a little quality control on the finish. In time I might just take some sandpaper to it and strip it down. I'll shake and rattle-can it black and then put on a new clear-coat. But for now these will do, they are not for display purposes, but for use. Reasonable quality for chap bokken, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: 2 Pcs Set Wooden Kendo Practice Bokken Katana Sword (Misc.) Not display grade obviously! But they work well as practice swords. The wood is surprisingly resilient in these inexpensive items. No complaints from me, but do keep the "get what you pay for" motto in mind. |
