Bokken - Katana Textured Handle

Designed for the dedicated martial artist, the Bokken - Katana Textured Handle delivers the realistic balance, size, and feel of a live blade while maintaining complete training safety. Modeled after Cold Steel’s renowned Warrior Series swords, this practice katana features a finely textured, imitation cord-wrapped grip molded directly into high-impact polypropylene for an authentic look and exceptional control. Perfect for kata, partner drills, and precision cutting form, it bridges the gap between traditional wooden bokken and modern synthetic durability.

From Kashi wood to modern polymer innovation

Centuries ago, Japanese swordsmen honed their skills with the bokken—a simple wooden sword crafted from the tough Japanese White Oak, or “Kashi.” It allowed warriors to train safely while mastering timing, edge alignment, and movement before graduating to sharp steel. Authentic wooden bokken remain in use today but are increasingly expensive and prone to cracking or warping. Cold Steel’s modern interpretation preserves the same traditional proportions while replacing fragile wood with high-grade polypropylene that never rots, splits, or splinters—offering unmatched longevity and reliability.

Why this bokken stands out

This improved version of Cold Steel’s Japanese Training Sword replicates the dimensions and balance of a real katana, giving practitioners a true-to-life feel during every swing. The molded handle simulates a traditional tsuka-maki wrap, providing a secure and comfortable grip even through intense training sessions. The heavy-grade polypropylene construction delivers just the right stiffness for realistic blade control while remaining virtually unbreakable. Whether used indoors or outdoors, this bokken will withstand the rigors of daily practice without the maintenance issues of wood, making it a perfect choice for dojos, martial artists, and collectors alike.

Why choose this Bokken - Katana Textured Handle: realistic katana handling, textured grip for superior control, durable polypropylene construction, weatherproof design, and safe for full-contact drills.
