Great but feels like Koto October 26, 2021 Reviewer: Anonymous Person   This is a great, high quality shinai but - despite it's hybrid status - definitely feels closer to a koto type shinai than a dobari one. Was this review helpful to you?

EXCELLENT September 16, 2021 Reviewer: jonathan adviento from Charlotte, NC   I am brand new to kendo. with a permanent disability to my left hand I felt a traditional Koto was not thick enough. I took a chance and got this hybrid dobari/koto to have a ticker grip and I already feel more confident. This is outstanding. Was this review helpful to you?

Perfect balance May 18, 2020 Reviewer: Joseph Petty from Porter, TX United States   The moment I picked up this shinai, everything about it just felt right for me.  I'm kind of a bigger guy, with bigger hands.  The started shinai I was given I felt was like swinging a battle axe!  With this dobari/koto hybrid, I feel the center is just slightly closer to the tsuka, but the monouchi seems robust enough for me to not break during practice.  I like that the tsuka is just lightly smaller diameter for might left hand, to allow me to grip tighter, while closer to the tsuba it is larger to allow my right hand to stay light but still feel it has ahold of it.  I just love it.  I may have to order 2-3 more if these are truly limited edition!

Quality of Shinai August 31, 2018 Reviewer: Robert Evans from Waterville, NY United States   This was my first purchase of a custom Shinai. It is amazing how well balanced it is.

Absolutely Remarkable Quality November 21, 2017 Reviewer: Ky Duong from orlando, FL United States   So so light in the hand, and comfortable in the hand, and so beautifully fitted each of the staves perfectly fit against each other with no play between them, no splinters anywhere!
