I am a beginner in the art, but I love the feel of my Shinai. The weight is very comfortable for me. I plan on buying another for myself and 2 pairs for my kids.

I just got mine today, very fast shipping 3 days earlier then expected. They split up my order so I don't know how they made money off me, The Shinai is awesome, I removed the strings and got all the plastic off and smacked it as hard as I could against a tree and it didn't break, crack, or dent. I am very happy and will write another review when my shinai breaks.

These are the same shinai that can be bought for twice the price at most stores. They last well for mid level sparring, and I would recommend them for all levels so long as you're not attempting to just wail on each other with them. Make sure to take off the red strips, they are not only meant to come off, but they shinai is more likely to break with them on. the weapon is also much more dangerous with them on because it can't absorb shock as well.

Me and my freind both ordered 2 of these from this site about a year ago. His broke about 2 months in, might i add in we strike with all the force we can when we hit, mine lasted almost 2 years, it just started cracking to day, and even tho it started cracking, we keep fighting, now at the top its all cracked. im buying another one of these soon, i love the balance and maneuverability of these Shinai's.

I bought two of these a little while back, and they are absolutely great! The craftsmanship is remarkable, they are light and nimble, and me and my friend had a great sparring with them! I definitely recommend it, it is great buy for the money!

I was impressed by the speed of the delivery. As soon as I got them out of the box, I set them up. Then I proceeded to dish out glorious pain by getting right into the thick of battle with them. The 43 inch is a superb training tool for distance control and also works well as an off hand weapon. The over all quality of the shinai is superb, and after quite the beating was doled out, the shipping strings finally began to unravel (which is normal). Buy this shinai and get ready to speedily whack your opponent a hundred times before he gets close to landing one on you!

I would recommend this to anyone who's thinking about joining Kendo. Kendo for those who don't already know is very fast past and demanding both body and mind and much different from other more common hand to hand arts. Kendo can also be painful when hit in areas where your bogu doesn't cover. but don't worry because you only hit each other when your a year or so in to it. This Shinai can handle about a month of Kendo so buy two. That's also a good thing because that's about how long top grade Shinai lasts for. Over all a good buy for a beginner.

Awesome!

You can't go wrong with this kendo shinai. For roughly twenty bucks, you get first-rate craftsmanship and absolutely incredible durability. This might be the best buy of KarateDepot.com

I just started kendo and this shinai is holding up very well. in class we have sparred and so far I cant see any sign of damage on this shinai. after about 7 classes the only difference I can see on this shinai is that the handle is getting discolored but there is no damage to the shinai. this is a great buy and it will last you a long time....buy this shinai!

This shinai is of great quality. Not for competition or anything like that for practice. For longer results the shinai should be sanded on the inside of the staves and oiled.

They do say to take the little red strings off before use. So don't think its a bad thing that they do come off. Great item!

Good sword, cheap strings.

My brother and I use these to develop our 2 sword style. The bamboo is very durable, but one of the red strings snapped the first time I hit him with it. Here's a tip: I use my sister's hairspray to make the strings stay on better. Highly recommended.

A very nice beating stick

I don't have a lot of experience with other shinais, but friends who have used mine (and DO have experience) think it's a simple but very nice little number. I wish the ballance were shifted more towards the hilt, but you adapt quickly. Forget the little red strings - mine lasted all of 15 minutes (and I still keep finding them every now and then).
Also, thanks to an accident, I can verify that they can handle being left out in the rain, and can survive active use in the middle of a river (we were drunk). Durable and strong, though they need occasional tightening.

Great!

Great Value! I've had shinai's that snapped in half after a couple hours of sparring. That surely won't happen with this one. The red strings do come off once in a while, but other than that, great! A perfect practice sword. Buy it.

Very good practice sword. I recommend it to anyone who wants to build up their striking power and to anyone who wants to increase speed with a sword. The only problem I had was that the hand guard slips off occasionally. Overall, good sword to build up things.

Its very durable but could be beter.

It is a very good kendo shinai but it starts to get loose after a while of practicing. The red strings do come off very easily and the white grip gets worn and dis-colored easily. Overall it s a good practice sword so buy it. You won't be disapointed.

AWESOME

This Kendo shinai is extremely good and it is the ultimate sword for fighting. It has sure taken a beaten, and it is in almost perfect shape. BUY THIS SHINAI. You cannot find anything better!

Basics:
Very strong, durable wood. However, when practicing, don't plan on keeping the little red strings on. After an hour of training mine were all off. In any case, the swords certainly isn't just for looks. Other than the small decorative strings, this practical equipment is certainly a superb training sword that should last quite some time.
