Slim Koto-style Shinai - Shingessai


 
Alternative Views:
This Shinai is a Slim Koto-style Shinai. The common characteristic of Koto-style Shinai are their slim and close to straight bodies, which makes them very evenly bodies, often creating a sense of weight close to that of a "real sword". What's different about the Shingessai, is that it's even slimmer than a standard koto-style Shinai, giving it a very distinct balance.

Also by making the Tsuka more solid than usual, the balance is tipped slightly more backwards, making this Koto-style Shinai rather easy to handle.

I really love how this shinai feels as I strike an opponent. This is what I was hoping to feel as I read the description on your website.
