BokutoAll these weapons are made by SDKsupplies from North American hickory. They are all available at wholesale prices if purchased in bulk and if you have a special or custom design that you'd like to have made for your club or retail store in orders of 5 or more, just email us, we can likely do it for you at standard prices. All hickory weapons have a hand rubbed, flexible, tung oil finish which allows moisture resistance while allowing you to feel the wood. In some cases we offer these weapons in other woods, usually Ipe or Purpleheart. If so you will find a different button below to add these other woods to your cart. Please note that all prices on this page include shipping in North America |
Standard Bokuto Daito![]() These are "standard" size and
shape, the bokuto is 40"
(102cm)
long with a 10" (25.5 cm) tsuka (hilt). The sori (curvature) is 5/8"
(1.5cm).
These measurements will of course be approximate since they are hand
made. This model is suitable for kendo no kata, iaido and jodo.
Hickory Daito price is $65.00 (includes shipping in North America). Ipe Daito price is $90.00 (includes shipping in North America). Purpleheart Daito price is $75.00 (includes shipping in North America) |

Ipe Shoto price is $60.00 (includes shipping in North America). Purpleheart Shoto price is $50.00 (includes shipping in North America) |
SDK (Aikido) BokutoWe offer an aikido style model of the hickory bokuto, these have the "Sei Do Kai" safety tip (same as for Tendo-ryu) as seen below and no shoulder for a tsuba. Here is a closer view of
the two tip styles. We can of course make any tip style you'd
like for bulk orders. You will also see the variation in colour and
grain that occurs in hickory. I did not select "perfect" examples of
bokuto to show here, I just grabbed two from the top of the pile. ![]() Hickory SDK (Aikido) Bokuto price is $65.00 (includes shipping in North America).

Heavy (Iwama) BokutoThis model is the same dimensions and shape as the SDK model above, but the edge is more circular and the tip is cut off straight.

Saya BokutoThis is our standard bokuto with a plastic saya and our leather single layer tsuba. The perfect beginning step for iaido students, no more pretend saya or trying to hook your hakama himo to get the bokuto tucked away at the side.More importantly, you can practice noto correctly, with the left hand at the centre rather than at the left hip. Hickory Saya bokuto price is $105.00(includes shipping in North America). Ipe Saya bokuto price is $130.00(includes
shipping in North America).
