Beautiful shinai for the price, the difference in quality between the all purpose model, for just a little bit more cost is outstanding.
Many thanks Andy and team .

Great shinai. Just what I need to help train my grip correctly.

First received them in the lucky bundle this year and now my go to shinai for practice, testing, and competition. Great feel in the hands and definitely helps with hasuji. Only issue is they seem more prone to cracking than round shinai. Broke two since January.

Unbeatable Precision and Durability
The Oval Grip Shinai exceeded my expectations with its remarkable durability and excellent balance. The oval grip not only enhances posture but also ensures a secure hold for precise maneuvers. Investing in a set for the future is a wise decision, given the outstanding quality and the likelihood of future price increases.

it's like marriage
I ve used different style of Shinai over the years, only bought one per style and decided this style of grip is my favourite. onece I lock my mind on this, I decide to invest my money by buying set for future prove. as price will only goes up in the future. and also, if you only have one and then it breaks, it's not guarantee there always in stock when u need it.

Very nice Shinai
I like these a lot. They feel very nice and the quality is extremely good. Also for it's price it's very worth it in my opinion.

Great shinai
I buy this 3 shinai set for me because my Sensei like to his students experiment a real katana grip, for me i think it´s little heavy, but i love the oval grip to make my shots better.

Excellence
A great shinai, very nice and balanced, makes it very easy to do all kinds of movements and its grip is excellent.

Excellent balance
So far it’s one of my favorite oval shinai. The tsuka is rather thin, which is exactly how I prefer it.

Skönaste shinaien
Absolut den skönaste ovala shinaien jag köpt.
Passar mig perfekt och balansen ligger helt rätt!

Great balance and handle
We bought two sets of three shinai and we're very satisfied. The overall balance is great and it's a joy to use.

Great Shinai
I bought these after my first shinai broke. The oval grip is very comfortable, and was very helpful for improving my posture.
These are also very durable, having easily handled me hitting men-gane a lot, and the shinai to shinai strikes that are common as a beginner.
I would recommend these to anyone looking for a new shinai, but remember that once you get the oval grip, you can't go back!

Très bon Shinai. Peut être une tsuka a revoir
Faire un retour objectif sur un shinai est plutôt difficile; Car le retour se fait surtout en fonction de différences inter-individuelles (shinai déjà possédé, façon de le tenir, morphologie (des mains notamment), avancement technique, etc).
Le shinai est de très bonne qualité. Il est très bien équilibré (pour un shinai standard). La poignée donne la sensation de tenir un bokken ou un sabre, ce qui facilite la bonne tenue et "donne" plus de "conscience" sur l’orientation de la partie supposé être tranchante.
Cependant le diamètre est trop petit a mon gout (la référence 26mm étant dans la hauteur pas la largeur) ce qui rend difficile le fait de bien serrer avec les « deux petit doigts » gauche la tsuka, le shinai se balade un peu entre ces deux doigts surtout quand on met du rythme en travaillant en grand.
D'après mon resenti, vraiment un très bon shinai mais une tsuka un peu trop fine dans la largeur.

Durable shinai
I've been purchasing packs of 3 shinais in this store since November 2017 and so far the experience has been positive. I acquired a set of IZUMO (no longer on sale), also oval, that lasted a year or so. Now I've bought the TOUKON set and so far they have lasted well.
I don't see much difference between the two sets, they are easy to use and feel light but each person has a different preference for shinais so it would be nice if there was an option to buy individual oval shaped shinais (or any shape actually) so people could give it a try to experiment new types of shinais.
