It is weatherproof, cut-resistant and robust enough for intensive sparring, drills and fitness training. The design is based on the famous swords in the Warrior series.

Wakizashi Bokken - training sword made of polypropylene (Cold Steel®) 2015 model with optimised handle in cord wrap look Centuries ago, the best swordsmen in the world already knew that if you want to excel in sword fighting, you have to train with the right technique, posture and stamina. But the path from beginner to master inevitably involves practising with a realistically sized but safe training sword. A training sword such as the Wakizashi Bokken from Cold Steel® offers you exactly that: it imitates the length, weight and handling of a real wakizashi without the high risk of injury of sharp blades. Made from virtually unbreakable polypropylene, it is ideal for realistic sparring, technical units, fitness training or kata exercises. Inspired by the Japanese samurai tradition, this training sword was developed as a modern alternative to the classic wooden bokken. Authentic models made from white oak are expensive, prone to breakage and not weather-resistant - the Wakizashi Bokken offers a durable, resistant solution. The blade is based on the shape of the legendary Cold Steel® Warrior series swords. It has no sharp edges or points, but is robust enough for intensive training. The handle is modelled on the traditional cord wrap and offers a secure grip - even when wearing gloves.

Suburito - Training weapon made of polypropylene (Cold Steel®) Solid training sword for technique and strength training The Suburito is a traditional Japanese training weapon developed to improve cutting technique, posture and strength endurance. Unlike a normal bokken, it is heavier, thicker and primarily designed for individual training and swinging exercises. The simulated effort involved in handling this weapon makes it a respectful tool on the way to becoming a better swordsman. The Cold Steel® Suburito was modelled on a handmade wooden original from the collection of Andrew Demko (5th Dan Aikido), with whom Lynn C. Thompson - President of Cold Steel - also trained personally. The realisation: a more modern version made of indestructible material had to be created. The result is a training sword made from high-quality polypropylene with a long handle and square tip - absolutely unbreakable, weather-resistant and suitable for years of intensive training. It does not splinter, does not rot and retains its shape - even under heavy use. The Suburito is visually impressive with its authentic wooden design and engraved Kanji characters, which symbolise the five basic principles of sword fighting: Circular Motion Blade Angle (blade angle) Cutting Trajectory Distancing (distance to the opponent) Wringing the Tea Cloth (tension in the cut) This training sword is ideal for anyone who wants to perfect their technique and strength with a massive, realistic training weapon. Highlights: Made according to a historical model Extremely robust and durable Perfect for cutting exercises and individual training With traditional kanji engravings No splintering, no tearing - unlike wood Details: Material: High-quality polypropylene Total length: approx. 114.3 cm Thickness: approx. 2.5 cm Weight: approx. 1108 g Cold Steel® article number: 92BKM

O Tanto Bokken - polypropylene training sword (2015 version with optimised handle design) The O Tanto Bokken from Cold Steel is the ideal choice for realistic sword fighting training without the risk of injury. This revised version from 2015 impresses with a handle in a traditional cord wrap look, which is not only visually appealing but also ensures excellent control - even when wearing gloves. Tradition meets modernity Centuries ago, the best swordsmen in the world already knew that anyone who wanted to excel with a blade had to internalise footwork, basic stances and technique with rigorous discipline. But to become a true master, this alone is not enough - intensive training with a weapon that comes as close as possible to the original in terms of size, weight and balance is required. This is where the O Tanto Bokken comes into play - a safe training sword that comes very close to the feel of a real sword thanks to its robust construction, without the risk of serious injury. Inspired by history Even the Roman gladiators trained with blunt wooden swords. The Japanese samurai have always relied on the so-called bokken, a training sword made of hardwood (often white oak / kashi), to perfect their skills. But wood has its weaknesses: It can crack, splinter or become unusable due to weathering - and high-quality, genuine bokken are also often expensive. The Cold Steel solution: indestructible polypropylene Cold Steel has created a modern, durable alternative: Training weapons made from particularly high-quality polypropylene. These models impress with their extreme durability, long service life and realistic handling - with maximum safety during training. Break-resistant Cut-resistant Weatherproof Virtually indestructible The O Tanto Bokken is ideal for sparring, partner exercises, fitness training and use on the Makiwara or Palus. It is ideal for beginners, advanced and professionals who want to perfect their technique with a realistic-looking but safe training sword. Detailed design & high-quality workmanship The design of the O Tanto Bokken is based on the legendary swords of the Cold Steel Warrior series. The flowing lines of the wide blade and the handle design in traditional style make this training sword not only functional, but also a visual highlight.

Tachi Katana by Cold Steel® - A masterpiece of the Samurai tradition The Tachi Katana from Cold Steel is an impressive reconstruction of a sword type that is deeply rooted in Japanese history. Originally, the tachi was the favoured sword of the samurai long before the katana came into being. It was lighter, more curved and designed for one-handed use - ideal for mounted combat. After the first Mongol invasion of Japan, the katana evolved from the tachi. However, in later centuries, Japan returned to the old virtues and forms of the samurai warriors before the 14th century. This gave rise to a special form of katana with classic tachi fittings, as seen on the tsuba, fuchi, kashira and saya. The Cold Steel Tachi Katana epitomises this traditional combination: it is not only a functional sword, but also a collector's item with high artistic value. The forged, folded Damascus blade and the gold-plated fittings make this sword an eye-catcher for collectors, martial artists and lovers of historical weapons. Product details - Cold Steel® Tachi Katana Type: Katana / Tachi replica Blade material: Damascus steel, hand-forged Overall length: approx. 103 cm Blade length: approx. 76.2 cm Blade thickness: approx. 8 mm Handle length: approx. 26.7 cm Weight: approx. 1.1 kg Including lacquered saya (sheath) Cold Steel® item number: CS-SW-TACHKTNA Important note on purchase This item is only for sale to persons over the age of 18.

Flower Katana from Cold Steel® - elegance meets Japanese sword art The Flower Katana from Cold Steel® is a tribute to Japanese culture's deep connection to nature and floral symbolism, which has served as a source of inspiration for art, design and craftsmanship for centuries.
