Customer Reviews
I've always used Koban shinai, and switched to Kakkaku koban because I needed something thicker for better grip. So Toukon Bessaku has been my favorite for 3 years now, but I tried this one Higo , and wow! Just a bit thicker on the handle, but the balance is really dobari/jissengata, feels so light! But also I could see how flexible the bamboo is when putting the tsukagawa myself (don't do the same, order it fitted!), it flexed but did not break. I could further notice during keiko how exceptionally flexible it is (makes a nice sound on hits ;) )
Pretty good feeling when holding, swing. Nice balance and help with correct grip
Very firm grip feel, and very light swing.
Very good balance and superb craftmanship.
