Boken Cold Steel Hand & A Half Training Sword |
|
|
|
|
Cold Steel Hand & A Half Training Sword is made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicates a real sword in length, size, weight and feel. And while it is not quite as rigid as wood, it has the advantage of being virtually unbreakable as well as remarkably stiff and cut resistant.
Hundreds of years ago, the Japanese discovered a simple truth; that to become a good swordsman you'll have to practice, a great deal. To become a great swordsman you'll have to practice with a "live blade". And during the period between "good" and "great", you should spend your time building your skills and confidence enough to wield a razor sharp Katana safely and effectively.
To accomplish this, the Japanese relied on a simple wooden sword called a "bokken" for much of their training. Bokkens: Training Swords It was made from the super tough wood of the Japanese Green Oak tree, a wood they called Kashi. The swords produced from this wood had the advantage of replicating the size, weight and feel of a steel sword, while minimizing the possibility of causing grievous or permanent injury to those who used it.
Authentic Kashi wood Bokkens are still used today, but are becoming quite costly. They also have the disadvantages, being made of wood, that they may rot, crack split or splinter.
Cold Steel's solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements.

| I am very satisfied, the procedure was fast simple and the product is what I expected. I also liked the notifications sent that let me know exactly where my order was. Fedex was great as well, I even called Fedex in Portugal, because I could not be in the place of delivery until 18:00H (deadline of a working day) and I was suprized that they delivered in the morning :) ... Alas I can only make a like in facebook after the 17th of June, as this is a birthday present :D |
