Cold Steels synthetic tanto bokken is virtually unbreakable.
The best of the world´s sword fighters have known a simple truth for ages...
if you want to become a reasonably good sword fighter you should endeavor to
learn sword fighting techniques, footwork and the basic stances. However if
you want to be a master at sword fighting you have to eventually start fighting
with a "live blade". If your ultimate goal is to wield a razor sharp sword safely
and effectively, you need to train with a sword that approximates the size,
feel and heft of a live blade, yet minimizes the possibility of causing grievous,
permanent, or life-threatening injury to yourself or your training partner.
This concept was implemented by the ancient Romans, who used dull
wooden swords to train their Gladiators and soldiers. Japanese Samurai
used a wooden training sword that was called a Bokken. It?s an elegant
solution to a vexing problem and effective enough to still be used today. The
only problem is that a wooden sword can rot, crack, chip or splinter and
eventually become useless.
Cold Steel´s solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute,
low in price and impervious to the elements. The Cold Steel line of
Training Swords are made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and
closely duplicate a real sword in length, size, weight and feel. While they´re
not quite as rigid as wood, they have the winning advantages
of being virtually unbreakable, remarkably
stiff and cut resistant.
