So... i have my bokken, however three metal rods came with it as well. any reason?

but the guard on then the rubber retainer and you just assembled your bokken. As for the 3 extra metal rods i guess free makeshift bo staffs? ( dont use it against your bokken though)

This bokken is not supposed to bring any metal parts at all, (the one I got didn't, neither is on the description of the product) i suggest you to contact the seller, (maybe you got a different product from the same brand?)

I didn't have any rods for my bokken. Unless it's some new design where it secures the guard with these metal rods. That would be the only reason I could see. I don't know if that's it though. Mine just had a rubber ring that slide down the blade portion to secure the guard. Hope this helped.

Hi , i would personally suggest you to get a different rod. These tend to sag in between after sometime. They also fell on my head :(

One boken and one katana comfortably. Probably put a third of either kind in if it's tight. Great quality for the price!

It looks like two rods because the photo shows it configured each of the two possible ways: With the tapered end out (used for serrations and pointed objects like awls and fish hooks) at the top, and with the flattened cylinder out (the rounded part is used for hawksbills etc, and the flat portion for most blades).The silver part is separate from the blue part. Loosen the knurled ring, pull out the silver abrasive portion, position as desired, then tighten the knurled ring; the blue shaft has a split at the end just like an Xacto knife.I store mine with the pointed end safely inside the handle, regardless of how it was last used.

I got a Gunmetal pair off ebay that had a black case but a different jack and had a standard black cord instead of the clear cord. I did not get that VIP card either. It said 2007 on the box, so I figured I got the new version.

they sell both, get the part number and go to the website and figure it out before you buy it. nice rods though.

Mine came with three extra. You can contact Eric, the owner, and i know he would send you more without any problem.

Looking at my knives ( I have a 7" gyuto, a 5" petty and a 9" sujihiki in this series) it appears that the bolster itself is bonded to the blade as a separate piece, although the fit and finish is very good and seamless. The blade and tang are one forged piece, just as in their "wa" Asian version. This is one of my two workhorse knives (admittedly for home cooking, not commercial). I have been very pleased - hope you will as well.

Hello Thank you for the message. Please let me know which item you are talking to. If you tell me the ASIN code, I can check it out. If I have it in my stock, I would say "YES". If I have not got it in my stock, I am afraid I would not be able to combine it. Regards, Makoto

The rod in the picture is a different rod. This sku is for a spinning rod. They put the wrong picture in the sku

I bought the rod, love it, but yes, the sections do not slide together all the way. In fact, I would have to get it out, but I recall none of the sections sliding together fully. That didn't stop us from slaying some Mahi Mahi on them (my friend and I had the same rod and after discussing the "not going together" realized they were awesome!

I really love that sharpener. Sorry the rod is broken. If you return it the company would probably replace the unit. I've seen ceramic rods for sale but don't know if there would be one that size or if you could get it into the sharpener. Good luck.

There are 3 honrs and corresponding rods. A very good set to sharpen knives.... Just talked practice

I bought 3 of these. Three of three were NOT straight. I would recommend you spend a little more on a quality weapon. Try here: http://www.crane-mountain.com/styled-3/styled-13/index.htmlThese might be hardwood, or they might be something cheaper. They do dent easily. Bokken are not really meant to take abuse though. If you are looking for something to hold up to striking or sparring, I would suggest a Shinai(bamboo Sword). These will work for kata, but if you are spending all that time perfecting your kata, shouldn't your weapon look nice as well? I ended up getting a bokken from my dojo for $10 that was much nicer than these bladeUSA ones. I bought 3 of these. Three of three were NOT straight.

It's probably just a misprint. The box mine came in was the same size as the rods. Roughly 8x6x50.

The rod should be on the side of the box, in its own slot on the side.I don't know why this seller is doing this, he did the same to me, he leaves the rod out. The rod is the most expensive part of the toy and it upset me that he left it out. Apparently he is doing it to other customers as well. I was not able to get a replacement rod from him but if you call Amazon they will refund your money.
