The Tradition of the Wooden Waster

Before risking their blades—or their lives—on the battlefield, warriors honed their skills with wooden “wasters.” These training weapons mirrored the weight and shape of real arms, giving fighters the ability to master strikes, parries, and techniques without injury. This wooden dagger continues that legacy, offering a safe and economical way to develop proficiency while preserving valuable steel arms for actual combat or display.
