I've owned one like these before. There are on the lighter end being plastic. Which makes them very fast. They are pretty durable. I won't practice them over cement. But it you where to slam them on any other surface you won't need to worry about them cracking. I enjoyed the ones I had. They're almost as fast as he fake styrofoam ones with the plastic tube inside. There very easy you us. Hope this helps

They are made of heavy plastic. They work great and have a great feel to them. What kind of martial arts?

These are acrylic plastic. They are very solid and very sturdy. I bought them for my son, who is a second degree blackbelt, to use to train for competition. They are fairly heavy and not a good pair for someone to buy if you have never used nunchucks before.

HMM....not sure, they are real wood, perhaps its the coating that's on them that some people may think makes them from plastic.

I would say they are nylon and very strong. This is my second set I have purchased. The first lasted around 4 years but I left them around the tree over the winters and they do become brittle. This time around, they get put away.

I believe they are steel. They are exactly like the table on the planer. I don't know how I managed without them. I still get a little snipe on occasion with longer boards, but short work comes out perfect.

It is smooth wood. entrance of scabbard need to be reinforced. tsuba(hand guard) is bonded with glue which means it might come off if your put too much pressure on it with your fingers. Overall good one.

They are real wood. They were made in China like most things these days, and even as a carpenter I couldn't really tell you exactly what type. We are still very happy with them and they match our living room well. The only down fall is that they attract my dogs white hair really well !

Not sure. Looks like white oak or hickory. Hopi hard wood. Have dropped a few time with no damage unlike hard plastic that breaks. I use to ward off coyotes when walking dog. Works great!

They are not steel... it's more like a pressed board material that is very durable. I really like mine.

They are made of wood but you will not get slivers it has been sanded smooth. You will love this company's toys they are my grandchildren's favorite and they will last forever.

They are made of bakelite - a lightweight thermosetting phenolic resin (plastic)Bakelite is non-conductive and heat resistant. In the old days, telephones, radios and such where made out of it. Hard to break and very damage resistant. I'm not sure how these handles "feel" however, I think they have some kind of texturing, but I would doubt they felt much like wood.

It's NOT oak. It should be made of Japanese Oak but it isn't. How do I know? Look at my previous answer. I use real Bokken in AIKIDO and this one is broken in half so I was able to examine its build. Look at the picture I posted. It's not oak grain.

Fiberglass maybe. Steel...no way. I shoot them through a sort of thick pine field but they are both outside. I would put them outside if you can. There are many other products that would work better if you want to put them inside.

I'm in USA and not sure of where sword was made or what wood was used. It has a reddish stain and appears to be a light colored wood. It seems to be fairly hard, something like oak. I bought for grandson. He hits things and it has held up good.

Hi. I purchased these and they look like real wood to me. They were easy to assemble and we really like them.

They're definitely wood, just very smooth. I love mine - it works perfectly.
