Before you buy one, I feel I have the responsibility to inform you that the wrappings on the handle are not tight at all. I had a student of mine use one in training, and 5 minutes later he came back, and the wrapping had completely come off. Other then that small oversight, it a good sturdy training katana. Nicely balanced, not overly heavy, and the suba is quite sturdy. I would recommend these to anyone who doesn't mind a little DIY

Great; highly recommended; fun to use and strike another person for the purposes of practice and defense.

Fine quality bokken. The wood is dense and heavy. Daito size. The tsuba is plastic and mine didn't fit well on the bokken. The rubber stopper where the habaki would be did not do much to stop the tsuba from moving. The tsuka wrapping is fine but doesn't seem to be too secure. I look forward to properly using it. A few test strikes seemed fine. Would recommend for the cost.
