The 40" daito / bokken is an ideal practice sword to safely practice your sword skills while protecting your self and partners. Constructed from hardwood and includes removable two piece handguard.
A Bokken (木剣, bok(u), "wood", and ken, "sword") is a wooden Japanese sword (or sabre), usually the size and shape of a katana (though wakizashi and tanto-sized are available). They are also known as bokutō (木刀, "wooden sword").
Bokken is a training sword, used as a relatively safe and inexpensive substitute for a real blade in several martial arts. They are used in the early stages of iaido when a practitioner has not yet reached the level where use of a iaito would be safe. The exception would be when a certain kata involving two people is performed. Then the veteran iaidoka will use a bokken for safety reasons. There are also specially designed bokken made for sword drawing only. These are, for the most part, supplied with a plastic or wooden saya and are generally slimmer than a normal bokken and not suited for regular sword techniques.
As seen in the popular film "The Last Samurai"!
