This is a good prop for a costume. The cuts on the sword are no precision and it is not balanced at the handle so this would only be used for beginner practice, I would think. The rubber ring that comes with the Bokken to hold the guard in place works fine, but I would also recommend using Gorilla wood glue if you plan to spar or hit things with it. It's a nice sword and if you're using it for a prop- 5 stars. If you're actually wanting to train with it..3 stars.

I received these with the Ninja Deluxe Uniform. They came with the size 11 boots. The socks fit JUST perfectly, but might be slightly too small in the long-term for holding up during training. If you're training, I suggest buying a few dozen of these, as they are thin. But they do work perfectly as long as they fit you.

These are very nice Tabi boots. They look and function as traditional tabi boots. The velcro works fine (it is not noisy.) The soles came different than the picture displayed, they arrived with a GOOD traction. I am very happy with the quality of the boots. My only complaint is that there is a small gap in the back near the heel because of the Velcro. My feet fit fine from toe to back. but because of the Velcro and my thin ankles there is a space there that takes some getting used to. I'm not sure if a size smaller would have helped or been too small to get on.
