Balayong Bokken Daito Training Sword Made from Philippine Hardwood without Tsuba
Balayong Bokken Daito without Tsuba – Wooden Bokuto in Katana Shape
This Balayong Bokken Daito is a wooden training sword in classic katana shape. It is suitable for Budo, Kata, technical training, Aikido, Iaido, Kenjutsu, and similar training forms where a solid wooden bokuto without a sharp blade is used.
Made from Balayong wood, often referred to in trade as Filipino hardwood or "Filipino Cherry Wood," the bokken offers a high-quality appearance, a pleasant feel, and a natural grain. As the botanical classification of Balayong varies in trade, we deliberately use the safe designation Balayong wood / Filipino hardwood.
