This is a listing for a carbon fiber shinai (bamboo sword), size 34, with an oval grip. This is a discontinued product, making it a very rare item. My child used this a few years ago. They used it for about a year, practicing twice a week. It shows signs of use, but it can still be used actively. The grip was replaced with a new one at a martial arts supply store. It uses a size 34 silver grip. Please take this opportunity to purchase it.
