Awesome! Much stronger than wooden bokken obviously, I was suprised that the tip was sharp. I almost poked my eye out trying to put the tsuba on. The plastic flexes slightly when pressure is put on it which means it should take hits. (Even though bokkens are to practice kata in kendo, i dont know what you people are doing hitting trees and people with them). Overall great for the price.
