Deluxe Grooved Bokken 101.5 cm - White Oak
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Chevroned Spine | Rounded butt | Long Kissaki | Grooved
White Oak availableThis top model is available in white oak. It is characterized by a more thorough finish than the standard model, long Kissaki, rounded butt and chevroned spine, and a more stringent selection of the wood used.
These Bokken are mainly used in Iaido because their centre of gravity is moved towards the tsuka as well as the sound generated by the groove is characteristically close to that of a Shinken or Iaito. This Bokken is also utilized in different styles of Aikido influenced by the practise of Iaido. In addition, these are great light weight Bokken for practitioners with shoulder pain.
- Choice of wood species: White oak.
- Available finish: Standard Finish or Seido Special Finish
- Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki for all models
Finish options:
In 2021, with concerns for the workers, all workshops greatly reduced the number of urethane-varnished weapons and replaced the finish with a "Candle Wax". Seido is now transitioning to a new finish offer for the majority of its weapons.
Standard Finish: At Seido, we complete the workshop finish with Camelia oil treatment by default. This is the standard Seido finish.
We do not apply any additional polishing for this finish, so some weapons might have a slightly rough surface.
For maintenance, we recommend that you oil your weapons about once a month with a vegetal-based oil.Seido Special Finish: For this special Finish, we first apply a Camelia oil polish (oiling and sanding the weapons with oiled sandpaper), then we finish the weapon with high-quality beeswax. This finish makes the wood as smooth as it can be and guarantees excellent protection for several months.
For maintenance, we recommend at least oiling your weapons every month or so. You can also apply wax a few hours after oiling your weapons (if some oil remains on the wood, remove it with a piece of cloth or tissue).Deluxe Grooved Bokken Specifications Wood Shirakashi
