MORE EASTERN TRAINING WEAPONS
 
Raven Studios training weapons are designed to withstand the rigors of free-sparring and are also well suited for forms/katas and solo technique practice. We feel it is important that each training weapon mimic a real weapons performance and feel as closely as possible, therefore our hardwood training weapons are constructed with the following qualities:
  • Patterned after real weapons. I strive to maintain historical accuracy.
  • Blades are made from Hickory. Information about hardwood
  • The hilt is made from your choice of hardwood; Jatoba, Hickory, or Purple Heart.
  • The guards are locked into the blades and can not slide or loosen.
  • The blades have a full tang and the handles are constructed with laminated hardwood slabs.
  • The handle is oval shaped for maximum comfort and control.
  • Finished with a linseed and tung oil blend which penetrates into the wood to create a tough and durable surface. After the oil has cured, the wood is hand buffed with a paste wax to provide even more protection from the elements.

 Custom Training Weapons

If you'd like a training weapon not found in our catalog, supply a written description (photos or drawings are very helpful) and I'll let you know if it's something I can do for you.

Creating a custom weapon may take a bit more time, and depending on the amount and difficulty of the project, the cost is generally between 0% to 60% over the base prices seen in this catalog. Contact ravenstudios@little-raven.com for a quote.
