Question by mandude: What type of wood are Samurai practice swords made out of?
I’m talking about the wooden ones they practice Kata with. This is the kind of wood that is extremely strong, but super light weight. Could also be used for monk staffs. Anyone know?
Best answer:
Answer by Mr.Gomez
They get the wood from guavas trees.

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…

Bought this sword to practice and workout with. Is a great find for the workout or just collecting enthusist of Japanese-inspired equipment. The sword is nicely made and handles well. It comes nearly ready to use right out the box and looks good. The only drawback is the fact that the guard for the sword is not attached at requires some ingenity to attach properily and to stay attached.

This one looked pretty good, but I wasn’t pleased with it. I had an earlier plain bokken made of oak which I liked a lot, and sadly gave to a friend. I thought this one would be similar but the wood was extremely fragile, mine cracked and chipped just doing some light sparring against padded swords. Aesthetically it’s not altogether pleasing either, it’s lumpy and irregular when you look close up. I’m trying to figure out which one I bought the first time.

Well, to start, I should point out that I paid less than ten bucks for this, and had no intention of using it for any reason other than messing around. The sword was not red as the picture showed it to be, but I didn’t really want a red one so it worked out. The sword came with a chip/crack in the tip, and that grew a bit when i dropped it on the cement outside. But again, I just wanted to play with it. The crack is only an aesthetic problem – its still sturdy and can take a decent beating. Its really pretty awesome – not too heavy, not really light. Like I said, its really sturdy and can take a beating. It looks awesome, most people don’t notice the crack in the top anyway. Basically, if you’re wondering whether or not to buy it, buy it. Yes you can get a better wooden sword, but for less than ten bucks this sword is more than worth it.
