Jigen Ryu bokken

Here is few versions of Jigen ryu bokken, made by original specifications and with my precision,

below is oak bokken by original dimensions, sory (blade curvature) of this bokke is about 5 mm, I make him for my collection because europe oak is not best wood for bokken

below is version with little bigger sory (only on blade part), about 10 mm

and below is one Jigen bokken without sory, made of heavy European oak,

Kashima ryu bokken

Kashima Ryu bokken from my workshop was made according to original specifications, the only thing I added was better finish and quality.

Bokken in the picture is made ​​of European oak, Tsuba is laminated from three layers to prevent the breaking, in this case does not exist tsuba dome because tsuba closely fits.

Niten Ichi Ryu

Niten Ichi Ryu daisho, was one of my recent Koryu projects,

I got one  Tozando Daisho, but industrial production is not something that Koryu practitioners prefer
that's why I decided to slightly improve the look and quality 

results can be seen in photos

 

 

here you could see how industrial bokken  do not have perfect sory (curvature)

the top  bokken  is my work  and

bottom is Tozando work

Katori Shinto Ryu

I started making Koryu Bokken, at the request of Holland guy who practice Katori Shinto Ryu, by his words, one of the oldest schools of Kenjutsu in Japan

first Sugino Sensei Dojo

this daisho was make from European oak, 

Daisho was treated with red oil, until it reached the reddish color of wood, similar to Japanese red oak

next is Otake Sensei Dojo 
also European oak but oiled with regular oil,  

that would retain the natural color
