Bokken Katana “Hinoken”

The traditional bokken katana “Hinoken” looks like a real katana but features a robust blade made from durable, red Bahia rosewood. Thanks to its wooden blade, this beautiful bokutō is excellently suited for training in Japanese martial arts such as Kendo or Iaito. The saya (scabbard) is made from hardwood and is painted. The handle is traditionally covered with simulated ray skin and tightly wrapped with real Japanese silk.

The high-quality craftsmanship and the authentically detailed appearance, including a real tsuba, handle decoration, and the beautifully pigmented saya, make this bokken training katana a true standout among training swords.
