Summary: Good first timer practice swords
Comment: I recieved TWO bamboo training swords. I bought them as a gift for my boyfriend. the leather did NOT disintegrate on touch. we played with it semi-roughly and they held up. the shipping however was late it took 2 days over a week, and one day over the estimated delivery date. at any rate these are a nice set of beginner swords.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very pleased
Comment: Very pleased with the shinai - they arrived quickly, and are exactly what we were hoping for.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very poor shinai.
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worth it.
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Set
Comment: 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.
