Cold Steel Japanese Training Swords are closely modeled after the world-famous Warrior series swords. Featuring an intricately detailed imitation cord wrap grip - molded in high-impact polypropylene - they offer superior grip and comfort as well as more realistic training potential. 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 accomplish this, the Japanese relied on a wooden sword called a bokken for much of their training. It was made from the super-tough wood of the Japanese White Oak, a wood they called Kashi. Authentic Kashi wood Bokkens are still used today, but are quite costly. They also have the disadvantages that they may rot, crack, split or splinter. Cold Steel's solution was to design a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements. While they're not quite as rigid as wood, they have are virtually unbreakable and remarkably stiff and cut-resistant.
