The shinai tanto presents the same advantages during training as a Fukuroshinai, i.e. bamboo slats are loosely tied and covered with canvas allowing for more shock absorption. The bamboo slats are then covered with a high-end leather reinforcement on the Kissaki (the tip), allowing for more intense training sessions than with a wooden Tanto. Its weight is slightly higher than a classic Tanto. It harbors a stripe of synthetic leather to symbolize the knife blade.
This model has to be held on the opposite side of the synthetic leather reinforcement. Entirely made in Japan from high-end bamboo slats and fabric.
For compliance reasons, reviews placed in French and Japanese and imported here on April 2024 do not display as 'verified'. When importing Japanese reviews, the impossibility to automatically determine the presence of a familly name forced us to label all Japanese reviews as 'anonymous' (Familly names in roman characters have been filtered out).
Country, province (if any) and zip code are used to calculate shipping rates.
