Jissengata Hakkaku Koban Shinai - Mens 39

Madake Bamboo

Madake bamboo shinai is very popular among kendoka due to its suppleness, excellent elasticity, and resistance to splitting. It also creates high-quality shinai not only due to its excellent fiber density but also due to the color and gloss shine of the material.

Jissengata/Dobari Shinai

Jissengata or "Dobari" shinai have their weight balance near the area just in front of the tsuba where the body shows a bulbous shape. This is to allow for a lighter tip which is perfect for lightning fast movements and sharp strikes!
