Dear Aikidoka's,
Here is some more personal bokken's idea
this kanji was hand made by burning and because that is more unique, more natural from those which was made by laser's or CNC machine
and few more close look
Dear Budo friends,
here's something for those looking for something unique and special.
From time to time appears some interesting piece of wood with interesting texture, this is one of them. It is not always easy to do something similar, and these pieces require long-term preparation, this Tanto was made about three years, in order to stabilize the wood, to avoid subsequent reactions, such as cracking or bending. Working layer by layer and wait a reaction of wood, when wood stops responding, you can complete the job. So here it is Art of Nature, 100% unique, ideal for gift to someone special.
Here is custom tanto from Jatoba wood,
with kissaki in style Shinto Katori Ryu, Sugino dojo
Tanto is just oiled
Keishi bokuto but with smal change to be in Aikido style,
it is made to customer wish, no visible transition between the handle and the blade, on place where Habaki should be
