not suitable for sparing (hand to hand combat) will break
These wooden practice swords are not suitable for hand to hand practice fighting. We purchased them for this specifically based on the reviews that they were super strong and after one use one of the swords broke completely in half. Do ot recomend for sparing or actual hitting. If you are practicing the art of sword play, they can be used as long as no combat training is taking place.

Providing hours of fun
My teenage son and nephew used these swords everyday during the quarantine. The swords are built well and can take a beating from two rambunctious boys so I’m rating it SUPURB!

Very Light, but Well Crafted
This bokken was precisely shaped, & feels very nice in-hand. However, it is VERY light... That means it's definitely not White oak. It's a nice change up from my standard red oak bokken, but not very practical for my type of training (using a heavier bokken for endless swings & form correction).It is as described. My hardened fingernails will dent it with decent pressure. I'm keeping it because I was hoping for a +1, but got exactly what they stated I would get.-1 star for not finishing the form. There were several burrs on the tip due to an incomplete process. I hand sanded it and removed the sharp point that was formed.Both sides of 'blade' (Ha & Mune) are shaped to a very obtuse point, but you can hear the wind separation when swinging. The back (Mune) is actually *sharper* than the cutting edge. It's pretty nice overall.

Great quality, solid piece of wood.
Awesome, awesome, awesome!! High quality and nice balance. This practice sword was very inexpensive for what you get. My daughter wields it everyday and life’s it. The Korean writing on the handle, is also a cool touch. The handle(the little black piece on the sword) is separate and you just slide it down the sword if you want. It’s not fully plastic but has a bit more of a rubbery feel, which makes it nice and flexible. A definite buy!

Wrong Size
It's not that I'm completely dissatisfied, but I had first ordered one of these about a month ago and was happy with it. Naturally, I ordered a second one. Keep in mind that it does say there are different sizes, but at the time i had made the orders there was 1 size available which was listed at the same size as the 1 I had previously ordered. Not too much to my surprise, the one that I received is about 3 inches shorter that what I had ordered.

Extremely light weight
This bokken is wonderful and super light! I have a really bad wrist and welding the wooden sword at aikido practice was causing me a lot of pain. This sword is so very light that after a few practice swings at home I have zero pain from this. It is also very beautiful.
