Wakizashi Bokken

Compact, balanced, and built for real martial practice, the Wakizashi Bokken is modeled after Cold Steel’s renowned Warrior Series swords. Its size and handling make it ideal for paired weapon drills, close-quarters kata, and off-hand training alongside a full-length katana bokken. With its realistic shape and weight, this short sword trainer delivers the control, flow, and discipline of true Japanese swordsmanship without the danger of a live blade.

A short history of the wakizashi in Japanese sword arts

Traditionally carried by samurai as the companion sword to the katana, the wakizashi played a vital role in both battlefield and personal defense techniques. It served as the weapon of choice indoors or in confined spaces where longer blades were impractical. Practitioners of kenjutsu, iaido, and other sword arts have long used wooden bokken to safely study this sidearm’s versatile combat applications. Modern synthetic versions like this one continue that tradition with improved strength and durability.

Durable construction and authentic handling

Crafted from super-tough polypropylene, this bokken is virtually unbreakable, weatherproof, and made for years of rigorous use. The wide blade mirrors the elegant lines of the Warrior Series while eliminating sharp edges and points for safe contact training. Its intricately detailed imitation cord-wrapped handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip—even with gloves—allowing for realistic control in drills and sparring. Perfect for armored practice, conditioning, and pell work, the Wakizashi Bokken offers superior performance for the modern martial artist seeking authentic feel and lasting durability.

Why choose this Wakizashi Bokken: realistic short sword handling, durable polypropylene construction, safe for contact drills, and textured grip for exceptional control.
