The KENSEI Silver Smoked Shinai is the smoked version of the standard KENSEI. It keeps the same standard profile, standard round grip, and neutral, all-round balance, and adds the distinctive appearance of a smoked Shinai.

Within the KENSEI Standard range, each model is identified by the colour of its 剣星 mark, and this model carries the mark in silver, 銀.

The smoked finish gives it a distinctive appearance, for Kendoka who want their everyday Shinai to look a little different.

Customer photo review of *SPECIAL OFFER* - Original Smoked ALL-PURPOSE Shinai 'RANBU' - Set of *3*

This color looks incredibly cool. Also the sinai is very durable - I've knocked many splinters out of my opponent's sinai in 3 months, with mine looking as good as new. Also I would like to mention the excellent balance. I am very happy with the purchase, as well as quick and detailed consultation and fast shipping.
