Cold Steel Bokken, O Bokken, Wakizashi Breaking Things!


Cold Steel Bokken, O Bokken and Wakizashi - all trainers weapon made with extra durable and tough polypropylene. They all came in black, with just the blade and a "guard" plus a rubber ring attachment to secure the guard. Therefore, you can put the guard on if you want, or leave if off if needed.  The handle is textured for a better grip and you can really feel like holding a real bokken in hand, it's so cool!

The difference between the Cold Steel Bokken and Cold Steel O Bokken is that the O Bokken is longer, bigger and thicker. The O there means big or large, therefore the size is larger! 

You might wonder how they do in actual sparring or practice use. Here I will show you what they are capable of doing by breaking some rebreakable boards, tiles and so on. This is fun!


One last thing you should know about the Cold Steel Bokken, O Bokken and Wakizashi is that they are not blade proof and so any sharp edge can cut through them with ease. You can use a knife to slice through it in a combat situation.  These are only impact resistant, meaning if you bang them on people, it won't break, but if you cut them with a knife, it will break!  Someone tried to smack them on a metal bar's edge and it cuts into the blade too. Just keep in mind, play with them according to what they are intended for!
