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…

First, this is not a sparring bokken. It’s not solid enough for hitting things on a regular basis, the wood isn’t treated so yours, like mine, might have some minor surface cracking, and the tsuba is an ill-fitting piece of plastic with a rubber stopper.
However, this really is an excellent goofing-off sword well worth the price. I originally ordered it for home but liked it so much I kept it at the office and ordered another. It’s a good stress reliever to swing that thing around my desk during the day. The cording, a nice touch that most wooden swords don’t have, is solid and feels great. I epoxied the tsuba permanently on to mine and I highly recommend doing so to yours; it makes ALL the difference on this product. The weight is nice for practicing swings and the length is perfect.
If you’re expecting high-quality training equipment for this price you’ll be sorely disappointed. But, if you want something fun to play around with you could do a lot worse than this sword.

i bought two of them so that i could mess around with one of them. for instance i have a giant wild cactus field up in this lot by my house, so i use it to slice through them so i know its realy sturdy, because the cactus has broken a pvc pipe before. so my point is buy it!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, it was pretty good, I was a little disappointed in the quality of this sword. There were several cracks in the finish of the sword. Nothing huge, just minor eyesores.

First, this is an excellent value for the price. However, having said that, I have to say this is probably best used as a non-contact practice sword. I don’t know what type of wood it is made from, but it doesn’t seem heavy enough to be oak. The blade has some irregularities in it, like the wood was scooped out slightly with a spoon. It also has oriental characters carved into the blade. The characters are highlighted with gold paint, giving the sword a very nice appearance. However, I fear all of these will contribute to weaken the blade. The plastic retaining ring was too loose, and I had to glue it onto the sword to keep the tsuba in place.
The cord wrapping and the detail on the tsuba make this an attractive piece. I could certainly recommend it for doing kata, but not for anything where it meets firm resistance, such as against another sword. I would certainly buy this item again for the use I intended for it. For the money, it is a good value.
