1 out of 5 stars Very poor shinai.   January 18, 2008
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I bought these as a quick, cheap replacement for my last shinai, thinking that even if they were not excellent at least I'd have a spare. The parts that are traditionally leather (sakigawa, tsuka, and nakayuki) are made of a cheap, dry foam that disintegrates on contact (literally - my shirt was covered in foam particles when I unwrapped them). The bamboo is of the lowest quality, and looks like it will splinter at the lightest suggestion of contact; one reviewer has experienced quick breakage already. If the bamboo takes oil well I may rewrap them and use them as long as I can, but there is nothing to recommend these shinai.

The Kendo swords arrived just as promised. I was able to spar numerous times with friends of mine. But during a fairly tough match one of them snapped at the top and it became pretty much useless. But it was totally worth it. I will be ordering another set. Though i wish they were stronger.

My wife and I have used these swords quite a bit already, and we've had no problems with them. Very sturdy and fun to use. Great Product.

4 out of 5 stars Not too shabby   November 3, 2007

Out of all the shinai I have seen, these are pretty good. The leather at the tip could be a bit tighter I think. Thats its only downfall. It still holds together pretty well none the less. Also, for the price I would suggest getting these.
