Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My friend and I recently joined a Kendo club at our University. We were so excited, that we just had to purchase a Shinai, and we found this. We thought it was a good deal and we bought it.
It came yesterday, but something was wrong. The wrapping was nice, but there was a tag on the 2 shinais, "Made in China". We brought these Shinai's to our Sensei, only to find out this is 200% fake. This Shinai's wood is dangerously of low quality. Real Shinai's bamboo are coated with a substance that will prevent it from causing splinters and the such, but this Shinai has no coating and it potentially dangerous (if a splinter were to erupt, it can "explode" upon impact when hitting a Bogu armor or another Shinai). It is like someone broke a wooden chair and used those parts to make this Shinai. You can tell between REAL bamboo and LOW quality bamboo.
Another factor of this Shinai is it's length. Standard length of Shinai in Kendo is a very important factor, and this Shinai is just too short, around 10 cm short (and that matters).
Its weight is too light compared to a real Shinai.
Overall, this product is fake, and I am lucky this cost cheap (I cannot return this because unfortunately I have written words on it), but I still use this for swinging practices, but never had the thought of hitting anything with it.
