What is with Kensei SL? They may be mitered cuts, but the video is called homemade bokkens, not hand-made bokkens. He seems intent on disputing you at every point. Nice work, btw.
Some of those bokens might have been made by this kid, but others there he certainly did not make, I can tell by the mitered lines, and I know the difference between hand and machine made work.
then post a id on how to make them if you really did make them thats bad ass and i want to see how its done ,sadly untill then i must say im not sure you made one or two of these prove me wrong please cause if you did make them that good i want to know how
@KenseiSL ...What a dick. i know the diff between hand and machine work. You wouldnt know the diff between up and down if you didnt fall on your ass when you tripped over your own two left feet. fuckin IDIOT. You run your mouth on weapons vids like you have a clue what your talking about. We have all watched what you call weapons work and you SUCK. Are you mentally ILL? Do you realize that there is a World of people with actuall Experiance? a fool in his 30's who talks like he has a clue. ASS
There is no such thing as iron wood, it's just a name that wood workers give to woods that are particularly hard and dense of grain. There is no specific wood that itself has the name of "iron wood", though you might have been fooled into thinking such from a Japanese boken seller.
lol the ito? its pretty easy just look for tsukamaki on the internet somewhere and it should give you some pics or vids of different ways to wrap it like i did.
it would look cooler but only splinter easier. believe me your gonna want ipe or harder for the edge and something softer for the back even if its hickory.
The Hickory is MUCH more durable then the Oak..I'd try the Hickory on the outter edges and the Ipe in the center. forget the Oak. Oak breaks down in a fraction of the time that hickory does. I'm gunna try one w like 8-10 very thin layers, prolly all hickory. maybe w alternating heart wood and sap wood to make it look cooler
wont work with that many layers... you have to have a single wood composition making the ha that makes up at least 35% of the blades wood mass... otherwise it will compress and splinter like a bitch
I've tryed the laminated thing (layered) but they all broke really quickly. I practice pretty hard at times and the layers dont allow any flex. They looked realy cool. I like he pin Idea. what did you use for glue? I tryed Gorrilla gle ,but i found regular wood glue and a SHIT LOAD of clamps (like 20) to hold it together till they dryed
yeah putting pins in the main flex points or wood stress points is where you put those and i mix a super glue formula with wood glue and spread along the planks of wood. Another thing is that 2 pieces come apart WAY easier than say 3,4, or 5 do but yeah pins near tip and end of handle then use 3 different woods for best performance. I use ipe for edge hickory for middle piece and oak for backing. Its like how you would forge a katana with hard edge and a soft back. I only use 4clamps on mine.^_^
well when i glue the two - 5 pieces of wood the tip sometimes might come unglued and separate in hard sparring so i put pins in to combine the woods together better and the same with the tsuka.
that's a broken

Do your bokkens have a good weight in comparison to an actual Katana?
SPQRsamurai117 3 years ago
more realistic than most bokkens in comparison as to weight. Ipe is very heavey if you make it thick and can almost be used as a suburito

how did you tie that "string" or whatever it is arpund the handle?
yes im still stuck on that.....

Masahiro121 4 years ago
Therefore increasing the bokkens durability.
What else does it affect? Is the feel different from one without pins? Weight?
I'm just curious, I might be making orders from you one day ^_^
AznDemonLord 4 years ago
no no weight difference but my oak bokkens are only a pound for a 46 inch bokken
Masahiro121 4 years ago
the "hybrid" one looks sick!!! dude, actually it looks hella sick (in my opinion at least)
Nice Bokkens!!! =)
bananaboy2612 4 years ago
The hybrid is sick, tough edge soft back, like a real Katana.
I'd like one of those, a very durable non-sharp (blunt) weapon to use for extreme sparring.
