Bokken

Long swords often used in Japanese martial arts.

Standard Bokken, Jatoba

Aikiken Bokken

The “standard” bokken, designed to be an average size, weight and curvature and therefore suitable for many aikido styles. Length: 40 inches, available with sword, chisel, or blunt tip.

Katori Bokken

This bokken is designed for use specifically with Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu. It is a shorter, slimmer, lighter bokken, meant for speed. Length: 38.5 inches, available with chisel tip only.

Custom styles are available - contact me to see what is available, or could be made to your requirements.

Suburito

Large, heavy weapons meant for solo, non-impact training. Available in woods beyond what is normally recommended for impact weapons.

Large suburito, hickory

Standard

42 inches long, and signficantly heaver than a standard bokken.

Large

48 inches long, this can easily weigh 4lbs. 4lbs does not sound very heavy, but trust me – this is a lot of weight to swing around for an extended period of time.

Standard, Black locust: $120.00
Large, Jatoba or Hickory: $160.00
Large, Black locust: $140.00

Bo and Jo

Simple round wooden staves - available in custom lengths and diameters.

Bo, hickory

Jo

The standard dimensions are 50 inches long and 15/16 inches in diameter.

Bo

By default, we use the standard dimensions for TSKSR for our bo: 72 inches long x 1.25 inches in diameter, though this can be customized. Bo are NOT available in black locust.

Starting prices

Jo, Jatoba or Hickory: $55.00

Naginata, Jatoba

Standard

The standard length is 99 2/3 inches. The blade portion is curved slightly less than standard due to the inherent fragility of a pointed tip.

The queue is closed.

Can I place an order?

No. I am not currently accepting requests for estimates and orders. However, you can email if you'd like a notification of when I open the queue back up.

Why is the queue closed?

I am moving across the country, and until I am settled in a permanent location, I will not have tool access or workspace.

When will the queue open?

I hope to begin accepting orders by the end of 2017.
