Polypropylene practice swords won’t chip, crack or splinter like traditional wooden swords. They are flexible, resilient, durable and require no maintenance. Built tough for rugged practice, our Polypropylene Bokken feature a faux wood grain on the blade. The guard (tsuba) is a four-lobed plum blossom adorned with symmetrical dragons on both sides. The handle (tsuka) has a faux cord-braid (ito) for a firm non-slip grip. Excellent for sparring. Weight: 1 lb. 5.6 oz., Length: 39”
