You can't go wrong with this bokken: Good weight, good looks. Seems like it will hold up well.

Great stuff! I recently used a set at the dojang, and decided to buy a set of my own. Great price for a great product.

A no-nonsense bo. Mine is beautiful...I almost hate to ever use it. The sticker was on the outside of the protective plastic on mine, so there was no glue residue. I cannot imagine anyone thinking this is too heavy. I'm very happy.
