Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The cord-wrapped handle is a great idea, offering more of a real sword-like look as well as a firmer grip. My hands tend to get sweaty and slip around a bit with long practice, particularly with the sealed lacquered finish on most bokken. This wrap really helps (though it needed a touch of glue to get it to stay in place). The two-piece guard design is a nice enhancement too. Though you really don't need the guard at all for many applications it is nice looking and appears stronger than the original.
It's still a fairly cheap piece of wood, compared to an ironwood version, but at this price (it was $9.99 when I bought it) you really can't go wrong. A nice enhancement over the basic bokken. I do, however, prefer the natural wood version to this one as it looks pretty bad once you start using it and the color scrapes off. Nevertheless, if you want an inexpensive practice sword this one is recommended...

Unlike most poorly manufactured and shoddy wooden practice katanas--also commonly referred to as samurai swords--this Boken Daito wood practice sword offers both stability and practicality. The sword boasts a sturdy oak construction with a dark-stained finish and a comfortable cord-wrapped handle, helping it last through dozens of rigorous training sessions. The new two-piece guard design, meanwhile, protects both your hands and the guard itself, so you're less likely to break the sword. Best of all, the Boken Daito practice sword looks and feels just like a real sword, with a kissak at the end of the tip and a pentagonal spine and blade. The Boken Daito measures 39 inches long total, with 30 inches dedicated to the blade.
