Excellent product, basically a bigger bokken designed to strengthen and condition the user. Very durable. Only reason it got a 4 was because it came all chipped in the box... a big piece of the tip was missing. But otherwise a very good product.

Very good product overall; The only reason that it got a 4 out of five is that it is quite a bit lighter than other bokkens I've used, but very durable, it has stood up to other bokkens and even a sharpened sword. Also, the groove looks cool and gives the sword a more authentic feel. It makes that cool ''Whooshing'' noise when you slice it through the air.
