This is a wooden sword, approximately 115cm long, often called a "swinging stick." It's been about 30 years since I purchased it, so there are some minor scratches and dirt, but I don't think they're noticeable enough to be a problem during practice. Even if your style isn't swordsmanship, how about having one for training? - Material: Wood - Weight: Approximately 935g - Length: Approximately 115cm Thank you for looking.
