Got 2 of these!!! My son, who is a tween, can wield it with ease. We have had a lot of fun with them already!!!! These are a great practice tool. I would recommend these for practice or re-enactments. Weight is about 2lbs length is 43 1/2, just like it says... Another awesome product from Honshu. Thanks!!!!

Nioh here again black belt weapon expert. I got so sick of replacing practice swords so I got two of these their are great tough not for hitting walls wood or metal but each other. Be easy they hurt! You want to practice without having to replace a sword every week or two these a great. Shop Honshu for your practice equipment!

I got of pair of these for use in class, and they have so far proven very durable. They are fairly loud when they impact each other, however. Better for use outdoors, rather then indoors where the sound echos. Durable but loud
