Will this work for a wooden samurai training sword?

Yes it will work for a bokken. Just make sure you have the plastic tsuba or the sword may slide right through.

It would; however you wouldn't be able to draw it out. It's designed to go over a sheath of a standard sword or cutlass and hold it in place when drawing the blade itself

Search Youtube for a video of Adam Savage of Mythbusters modifying a wooden sword. He used something called plumber's aluminum tape for the blade. That may produce a metal-look you're probably going for. (That being said, the blade of this thing is pretty thick, so it would likely only look good from certain angles, regardless of what you did to it).

No.This knife roll is best suited for small to medium knives. If you need a sword bag look for one specifiably for martial arts gear.

The Swordsmiths of Japan put in two pegs of Bamboo in the handle, and then some do not. It depends on the Katana and the maker, and the length of the weapon. Do the reasearch, you'll be amazed the information that you can find on your own. Some folks have never handled a Katana much less had one in front of themselves. And they give false information that was never asked for to begin with...remember this is the internet,and we still have Libraries out there. Or find someone that owns a Katana and grill them for answers.

This sword could possibly work. I don't think it'll bend if pressed against something unless pressure is put on it. Then again I'm sure you're not gonna be stabbing anyone haha. But yeah I think it'll be a great sword for any kind of competition. Good luck.

Yes it can, and it's probably better than buying the wooden models you can get at anime cons because it's more durable than those extremely thin wooden models. It's about a third the thickness of a standard bokken and a fraction of the weight. I've sparred with it and it didn't, however I do not recommend you spar with it. If you wish to spar use a full weight bokken or a foam sword. It can look terrific painted and the blade is about as thick as a more traditionally made katana. I've seen it used as a prop in a video and I thought it was metal. All you need is a paint that will look good over the finish.

Sure, if you tighten the leather straps tight enough.You may have to add another hole, like I did in order for a tight fit.My swords scabbard had nylon rope wraped around it, so I used this to help secure the scabbard to the harness

It depends upon the design. The frog was designed to hold a scabbard with at least a minimal lip (the frog can be tied tightly under the lip). So if your scabbard for your Katana or wakizashi has a lip on it ,it should work. If your thinking about it just holding the sword, if the sword is sharp (not LARP) then the frog may not hold up very well. But I have been pleased with mine.

It's literally 1/4" steel stock that has been ground down into a knife. If you have the strength to use it, it should work. You are going to break before it will.

The wood seems to be bamboo not really sturdy it wood break I am sure if you hit someone with the sheath but for holding the sword its fine.I cant say what type of steel it is it looks to be two types as it has a nice blend looking pattern where the edge is one metal and the back of the blade is another.It does hold an edge well it seems my son sharpened it and its scary sharp cut my thumb just checking it.Now is it a real fighting sword no I am sure it wouldn't hold up but it does look nice for the price and would be a nice present for a amateur collector.Do note its super bright red scabbard not wood color like he picture seems.

The hooks are not identical. One is deeper than the other. That being said, I don't see why not. Just as long as the rear hooks stabilizes the sword (keeps it from rolling backward or forward which I would think it would do. If all fails just return them.

Definitely not, It would fit at the top near the hilt probably, but it would not work as the blade gets wider.
1457924
absolutely not. this is designed for cutlass shortblade or maybe a midlength cutlass. a katana is way too sharp and the only thought in my mind would be.."what could possibly go wrong...." or if you do make certain your up to grade in first aid. you will need it.

Depends on the size od the sword. It is well make enough but as far as fit I cannot say.

Sure. I'd use a Dremel Tool. If you want a sword to stay in place you would have to fill the "stone" with something so that, when inserted, it would stay in place.

My long sword is to light at the grip. But, I believe unless you fill the pommel and grip with metal, the material is not giving you any more. Still a good thing for basic training, If you are more advanced use the real thing.
