Three-layer Bokken are engineered for maximum strength and impact resistance. The cross-grain design of the three layers enhances the durability and makes these Bokken ultra-resistant to heavy impacts, ensuring long-lasting performance during training.
Lignum Vitae – The Ultimate Ironwood
Lignum Vitae is one of the hardest, densest, and heaviest woods in the world—three times denser and more resistant than oak. Known as “Ironwood,” Lignum Vitae is highly compact with a striking yellow-greenish hue and brownish streaks. This wood is exceptionally resistant to humidity and mold, making it perfect for martial arts tools. Its impact resistance is unparalleled, making it the ideal choice for crafting durable Bokken, Bo staffs, and other weapons.
Ash Wood – Hard, Elastic, and Impact-Resistant
Ash wood is a dense, hard, yet lightweight wood known for its remarkable elasticity. Along with Lignum Vitae, it belongs to the Ironwood category, offering outstanding strength and durability. Ash has a beautiful white or light color with minimal porosity, which contributes to its resistance to humidity. Through extensive testing, we found that Ash wood’s impact resistance is second only to Lignum Vitae, making it an excellent choice for high-performance martial arts equipment.
