    I've been using a 4-shinai pack of these for 4 years. I'm only just killing the 1st one, and nb 2 is becoming nicely worn and the tsuka well done to my hand. Bamboo quality and craftsmanship are at the top with this series. I love the shape, as I also do iaido and kenjutsu. Thanks to the shape of the grip, you never lose your hasuji when doing kirikaeshi, for instance.


  • Excellent comfort

    The oval grip makes this shinai really emulate the feeling of a real sword but still allows you to feel this comfort with a shinai that can be used in sparring. It also is the lightest shinai for men and so offers good speed and with the grip has better control at rotating the blade. Top score!


  • Oval grip is the best

    Coming to kendo from kenjutsu I really appreciated this shinai. The oval handle provides a more real-life grip experience while still being eligible to be used in official competitions. Highly recommended for those looking for a genuine katana-like grip experience!
