SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Daito 40" White Oak Wood training sword is built for serious practice, whether you're stepping into the dojo for the first time or refining advanced forms. Crafted from solid white oak, this daito brings a natural balance of strength and flexibility that traditional martial artists have trusted for generations. Its full 40-inch length replicates the size and weight of a real katana, giving you a realistic feel for cuts, blocks, and stances without the danger of live steel.
White oak is known for its density and durability, making it ideal for repeated striking against other wooden weapons or in kata. It holds up under pressure and keeps its shape through years of training. The smooth, sanded finish gives it a clean, professional look while still offering a comfortable grip whether you're barehanded or wearing training gloves. Its natural resistance to splintering adds another layer of safety, which is especially important in paired drills and high-speed practice.
This is the kind of tool that builds muscle memory and sharpens focus. Whether you're training in Kenjutsu, Kendo, or Aikido, the Daito is more than just a wooden sword—it’s an extension of your discipline. Dependable, time-tested, and no-frills, it’s ready to take the hits and keep going. If your goal is to master the blade, this is where you start.
