Oniyanma - Hakkaku Kobangata Shinai
This shinai features a distinctive "Hakkaku" - octagonal - Tsuka that is also Kobangata, oval-shaped. The result is a very easy and comfortable grip that is incredibly tactile - the Koban shape pushes it closer to the feeling of a real Katana, whilst the octagonal shaving gives you finer control over the Shinogi when executing Osae, Harai, and Suriage waza. The Tsuka is naturally thicker than usual at 28mm.
This Shinai is available in either Dobari or Koto versions. The Dobari version has a broad body that lightens the tip, whereas the Koto version has a slim body that distributes the weight evenly down the length of the blade resulting in a heavier tip.
Bamboo - Keichiku
※Please note that standard plastic Tsuba will not fit shinai with a Tsuka of 28mm and larger. An extra large plastic tsuba is available below.
