HASEGAWA Carbon Shinai (Bamboo Sword) - Size 38 For Women: High School Students, General Available for Immediate Purchase New, unused, and stored at home. Comes with the original case and instruction manual. I kept this as a spare for high school use, but one of the same type was enough. They are indeed durable. It didn't break. You can use it with confidence. I am in favor of carbon fiber shinai. Unfortunately, carbon fiber shinai are no longer in production. New, unused items are rare. Compared to bamboo shinai, there's less worry about breakage, and it's less likely to injure your opponent, so you can use it with peace of mind. Perfect for intense practice in high school club activities. How many bamboo shinai, costing around 5000 yen each, will you buy in the future? It's better to have something easy to maintain because you're busy. Best cost performance. It would also be a great gift. Carbon fiber shinai are recommended for practice, and bamboo shinai for competitions.
