Iaito bokken are used by beginners and non-ranked practitioners in iaido, before training with an iaito sword. While they are not intended for direct strikes, you should buy a bokken that is fairly solid and strong. Keeping in mind good weight and balance, we recommend bokken such as white oak or sunuke (Japanese "isu no ki"). More expensive bokken are furthermore robust, however due to their higher price and quality material are considered more suitable to purchase for ornamental purposes, rather than for use in practice.
