Placed a bulk order of about 40 shinai for my club. The quality of the bamboo and the leather parts, especially for the price, was excellent. The quality is comparable to other more expensive basic practice shinai from other stores. It was an international order to California, USA but there were no issues with shipping at all.

Just received it today. It looks a lot better in person, and more importantly it feels great too!

Definitely has the same quality as other higher priced practice shinais from other online kendo shops.

I will be ordering for my students exclusively, they are well balanced, have good quality parts and the bamboo is of good quality. I will be posting a YouTube review later so someone can see what they are buying with confidence.

It is an excellent buy at that price for any shinai, especially an entry level. The balance and weighting is better then one would expect for a basic shinai. I would recommend it for someone just starting out nge (a return to basics as such).

I didn't expect much from the cheapest set of Shinai, but to my surprise, they are the best quality I've ever got my hands on! The shipping costs were high though (Items : 50$CND + Shipping : 30$CND + Taxes : 10$CND = Total 90$CND for 2 Shinai). It isn't mentioned but the Tsuba (guards) are included, which is nice (Other sites may charge extra for them).
