Product Information & Size Chart

  • Chrome Sai Karate & Kobudo

    Made in Japan

    The Sai is a three-pronged weapon that originates in Asia and was, most likely, from there brought to Okinawa, Japan. In Okinawa it was used by the police and the Sai became one of the many weapons in Kobudo (Okinawan martial arts) only in the second half of the 17th century. The main tip of the Sai is blunt and for the purpose of jabs and the side prongs protect the hand and serve to parry attacks and trap the opponent's weapon. It is said that a trained practitioner could even break a sword's blade. This model features an octagonal stem, a round handle wrapped with a cotton cord to enhance the grip and a diamond-shaped knob. It is commonly used in pairs, holding one in each hand.

    Non Returnable Item Disclaimer

    Because considered as a weapon within the Japanese legislation, the reimportation of the item is impossible. Therefore, this product is non-returnable/exchangeable.

    Excellent en tout point

    La livraison: très rapide. Les articles étant en stock, j'ai reçu mon paquet en moins d'une semaine.
    L'emballage: juste parfait! Les saï sont emballés dans un carton aussi beau qu'efficace.
    Les saï: Ils sont magnifiques, avec une très belles finitions. Le poids est excellent et permet de passer de la position ouverte à fermée avec énormément de facilité.

    Amazing

    Beautiful pair of sai. So much better than the cheap Chinese knock-offs I’ve had to settle for in the past. Very happy with purchase.

    感触・バランスが非常に良い

    重量も気持ちよく感じ、バランスがすごくよいので取り回しが重力に任せ自然にでき、とにかく気持ちが良いです。先端はもう少し尖ってているのが私の好みでしたが、問題はありません。配送について、お店に至急配送をお願いしたのですが、すぐにご対応いただきとても感謝しています。他の方のご感想にあるように、ぜひぜひ鉄製サイをご製作いただきたいです!ありがとうございました。

    指先が器用になる要素を持つ武道具。しかも、日本製というのがいい。
    欲を言えば、日本製で、鉄製(黒)も作成・販売して頂きたい。

    釵 (サイ) の評価

    中国製のサイを持っていて、古武道の稽古に使ってみたのですが、
    今回購入した沖縄古武道標準のサイは、手持ちの部分のフィット感、
    取り回しの仕方、重量、重心、申し分ないです。
    さすが、やっぱり日本製!
    今後の稽古が楽しみです!

    素晴らしい釵です。

    空手の演武用に購入させていただきました。
    持った時にサイの先端が自分の肘の長さを超えるものが欲しかったので、50cmと長さが充分にあり満足です。
    重量も長さの割には重く感じないのが、とても良いです。

    クロムの輝きが非常に美しいです。
    手にした時のフィット感も素晴らしい。

    一点だけ惜しいと感じたのが、先端がもう少し尖っていたらと思いました。
    演武用なので、刺さってしまうほどの鋭さは求めていませんでしたが、先端が平らに近いので、新しいものに変わる際は、そこが改善されたら嬉しく思います。

    Nice but has some significant flaws

    I train Matayoshi Kobudo and I ordered these Sai instead of the pair my Sensei recommended, partially because these were much more affordable, but also because I have several Seido Bō that are of fantastic quality.

    Unfortunately I cannot recommend these Sai for Kobudo. The pair I received both had inconsistent and sharp flashing lines left inside of the yoko, which are sharp enough to cut my hand when aggressively transitioning the sai as one does in Kobudo. Since they are chromed and not stainless steel, I don't believe I could file or stone away the rough flashing to smooth out the metal without compromising the finish.

    Perhaps the pair I received were a QC mishap as many other practitioners seem to be satisfied with them, but as they are, I am not satisfied with the workmanship, I'm sad to say.

    Thank you very much for your review.
    These Sai are made with a traditional process that tend to leave some surface flaws.
    The craftsman who makes these Sai says that his direct Kobudo customer are happy with the finish, but on our end, we have the same feeling you describe in you review.
    We usually file the metal with a very classic file, and based on your review, it seems that we may have missed a spot or two.
    You can definitely use files, to adapt the finish to your needs/liking, that shouldn't take more than a dozen minutes to do.

    For compliance reasons, reviews placed in French and Japanese and imported here on February 2024 do not display as 'verified'.
