Tachi bokken with saya

This is the first tachi bokken with saya, so let the photos speak for themselves,

I did not go too much into the details, anyway this is the first.

Unfortunately with this project I started in 2007, but due to other responsibilities and

problems of tool, only recently revived in full.

The pictures show two versions, the first version without saya, bokuto version and another

version is Tachi bokken with saya and itomaki with hishigami

Kodachi with saya

Dear Budo friends,

here is first kodachi with saya, but not ordinary saya, this saya have KAERITSUNO (small

hook).

Due to constant improvement, here's another novelty from my little workshop.

If you look at the professional literature about Nihonto you will find out that Kaeritsuno most

commonly appear on Kodachi and Tanto koshirae.

Shinobigatana, Ninja sword's

According to my latest knowledge about Shinobigatana, or ninja swords on which I need to

thanks Shihan Alex Esteve,

he confirmed some of my assumptions, and here is few new boken's.

I photographed them together with the Cold Steel Warrior Katana, to better see the

difference,

sorry for the bad quality photos

It is difficult to catch the good light and shadow's : )

There are swords of this kind but there are also tactical, of which I will also write something

and make some training versions.

soon more info,

Koryu bokken, sori 2 cm

Shinobi Daisho

Hello Buyu's

here is the new swords, I never asked for the right name for these swords, so if someone

knows, I'll be grateful.

For now, we call them Shinobi Daisho, of course, these are for sale and who offered more, will

have an interesting training.

According to some sources, this weapon can be called "Gyaku ni Daisho", gyaku because the

reverse placed.

You could see this type of tool on some video material, or in the literature of Soke Hatsumi,

so you probably all realize the purpose of this tool.

The key element is definitely a surprise, but in addition there are several more important

details.

The first is the Tsuba, which in this case closer to the top of the blades, which practically

marks part is called "Mono uchi" or part of the blade used for cutting.

In this way we can better control the opponent's blade or him, also we can used Tsuba for

pulling opponent as some kind of hook.

Sageo is also a position that allows a special kind of control blades, for example, if you drag the

end of the Sageo in the direction of the opponent, tip of blade will also move in the direction

of the opponent.

Other benefits try to discover you using your own imagination, if not ask someone else, or visit

one of my future workshops, which I will try arrange to meet people with the technical

characteristics of weapons used in their Budo training

Ninja biken, Sinobigatana, Ninja to?

Although it is hard to say which is actually a real name for this type of sword, he is become not

replaceable in training of Ninjutsu.

This type of bokken I we make the past ten years, what you could see below is the latest

improved version, in fact, several of them, never do just one solution : ))

Daisho

This is a Daisho bokuto, I called them the basic version,

you may find it similar to other bokken that you can buy, but I assure you it is not.

If you look at the details, curvature, lines, you'll see that I have tried ( in my way) to unify

Bokuto and Shinken

I am aware of the fact that any piece of wood or branches, can be used as a bokken or bokuto,

but it is valid when you are in nature, and do not bring your bokken with you.

http://paart-budo-buki.blogspot.com.es/2011/11/daisho.htmlhttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fd8fAjZcS5s/TyU-RRrQJ_I/AAAAAAAAAOM/Pp5JFgOwYrQ/s1600/ninja+toh+bokken.jpghttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FBFhnjPzv4k/Tzr30kIZYhI/AAAAAAAAAPM/DJL9O-huEpI/s1600/habaki.jpg

However, when you're in the dojo, and if you respect Budo, then I think it deserves at least one

good bokken or bokuto.

In way that person choose Shinken, the same principle applies equally well to bokken, at least

this is my humble opinion.

This could be called the most widely used form of blades, although it is actually difficult to say,

given the range of the blade, which the Japanese blacksmiths through the centuries have.

Because people mostly purchase a similar type blade, and the curvature is not too large, so it is

possible make such a Daisho of exotic wood planks, I decided that this becomes the basic form

of Daisho from my workshop, that's why I called them the basic version

All this O-Tanto's have Hishigamis under itomaki wrap,

shape of blade and kissaki is very similar to original look tantos from that time.

When you order Tanto from me you could chose lenght of blade, lenght of tsuka, size and

shape of tsuba , and as you se colour of ito maki.

If I don't have colour of ito maki which you like to have, you could buy it somewhere else and

send it to me to wrap your tanto

Bokuto/bokken

Some Budoka's prefer bokkens made of exotic wood, mostly for the beauty of exotic wood

and other characteristics.

My personal experience says that exotic wood is not the happiest solution for those who

expect a great bokken, especially for contact, in some of next posts I will explain why.

If you need a bokken / bokuto just for katas or slight contact, which will really look good, then

certainly recommend the already known species of exotic wood.

On the photo below is one of my bokuto made from African Paduk, the structure of this wood

looks like flowing lava, normally under the horizontal section in relation to a tree.

There are also pictures of some other bokuto and from my private collection which I made, I
