Natural Wood Daito Bokken Katanas - Two For One, Sturdy Wooden Construction, Nylon Cord-Wrapped Handle - Length 40”

Good for price, but the hand guards broke immediately. They are slightly different colors and weights, which is expected since they are wood. They dented very fast and survived a couple falls in the pool no problem. Overall design and weight distribution was amazing.

I was shocked at the quality for the price. Fast shipping too

My friend ordered this and we were training for 1 hour and it was super durable would recommend if you want a training sword

These wood katanas are a perfect gift. I gave them to 2 12yo kids who's birthday's are a week apart. They were so happy and even got their father to make them wall mounts to hang over their beds.

good but i would perfer a different color but its a great gift

These are really nice and are very solid and well made..very happy with this product and if I need to..will buy again..

I don't know what the people in the other comments are using them for but they are sturdy and of great quality. I got them this morning and i love them!they are a bit heavy so they are great for practicing to use the real deal they were worth every penny. I am definitely going to keep bringing my business to true swords.

the shipping took 3 days. when i got they where clean and perfect except the hand guard didn't fit quite right. but it held in sparring for a month until one cracked. the to i got where completely different one looked like the one in the picture and one was darker. the lighter one got more dent while sparring and the darker didn't but that was the one that cracked after a while. also the hand wrappings where glued on so they eventually came off and the hand guard broke during sparring.Tip:wrap wooden blade in electrical tape it makes last longer.

These swords are amazing. I got them for my friend and I and they are great bokken. First off, the rubber guard does not fit correctly, so be prepared to use wood glue. After it dried, we decided to spar. The wrapping was fairly tight, but tended to shift sometimes. After we finished, there were no dents in the blade and was still in perfect condition. The bokkens are made of red oak and are darker than in the picture, but the're still great. They are very strong and durable and you do NOT want to accidentally get hit in the hand. 5/5 great swords I'll definitely be back for more. I highly recommend them if you want to spar.

vary good bokken good for training good weight i will be back for more

We ordered these about 2 days ago and they arrived this morning. However our order was messed up as True Sword accidentally sent only 2 when we ordered 4. After emailing them about the problem, within hours they had responded and were quite sorry for the mix up. The customer service is very good! Thank you True Sword, I will buy more again later. On to the product:<br /><br />They hold up very well to the hour of sparing me and my partner put them through. There are dents in the swords, but they aren't any bigger than the point of a pen. The hand guard does seem to drift upward when fighting, but nothing a quick push down won't fix. They are heavy in weight and the handle wrapping is good and tight.<br /><br />I don't know what the other reviewers of other similar practice swords were doing but I would have to go at these with an axe to put any significant damage in them. For the price I paid and the product I got, I am very pleased!

great practice swords. only negative thing: the hand guard is a small piece of plastic that doesn't fit the bokken correctly.

Definitely worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got these in recently and they're pretty well made, feel kinda light so I'm worried about clashing these training swords against anything of equal or greater force and sadly, the rubber stoppers are too large and don't stop the guard from sliding down which really makes it somewhat pointless. Not a big problem but still a dislike about this item I received. Next time you guys are about to sell this item, check to make sure the guard can actually stay on by giving a few swings with it completely assembled to see for yourselves whether or not its worth sending out to a customer.

One of the bokkens split, after I have stroke it against my punching bag only a couple of times; the other one is good at the moment. Other than that, everything else is good.

I chose this bokken set over the Black ones as I thought the wooden grain pattern with the Lighter color would look nicer for longer. While not "As Cool" All of the dents they have received so far are Practically invisible.<br /><br />As far as the Bokken goes the ONLY good thing in this Package that worked was the Blade. The handle wrapping (ITO) at first seemed to be Acceptable but it ended up moving around so much that I had to rip it off altogether, while the Tsuba is always sliding out of place, It works but it needs constant adjustment. <br /><br />Just because I gave this a 3 star rating does not mean that you should not get this. It is crap but it works, and does what it is supposed to do.<br />Out of all the Bokken sets Available on this Site, I personally recommend The Dark Red Wooden Daitos. That way you get the wooden texture that makes most dents invisible in the right light, and you can avoid the Downright terrible Ito Wrapping.<br /><br />This is my first buy from TrueSwords, and I hope to purchase a real sword from them soon.

One held up rather well, while the other one broke during training... The wrapping is glued on and over all, horrid. I ended up pulling it all off, and covering the handles with electrical tape. I good buy for beginners, but not dependable for heavy practice training.
