I don't know what others are doing with their bokken (or bokuto)--except the one reviewer who said straight up that he was interested in hitting stuff (rock on dude)--but there is no normal use of a bokken that would even scratch it. It's only meant to replicate a sword for the purpose of swinging it instead of an actual katana--unless of course you were born before 1868 in Japan into the Samurai-class (the last folks allowed to carry katana in public), where they practiced on each other, sans armor.

Go ahead and buy it ;-) It's affordable, beautiful, and seems very sturdy. The hand-guard (while a little tacky looking) is easy to assemble and the wood is already oiled and shrink-wrapped. Good buy. |
