Bokken Katana “Howaitosaya”

The traditional bokken katana “Howaitosaya” looks like a real katana but features a robust blade made from durable Bahia rosewood. Thanks to its wooden blade, this beautiful bokutō is excellently suited for training in Japanese martial arts. The saya (scabbard) is made from hardwood and is painted white. The handle is traditionally covered with simulated ray skin and tightly wrapped with polyester silk. This bokken wood katana is suitable for both Kendo and Iaido training.

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

„The path that leads to the truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant.“
(Yamamoto Tsunetomo)
