Konpei (in wood)

Dear Budo friends, 

in front of you is another a rare tool.
Some sources say that is Konpei, Soke Hatsumi in his book also use that name, one other name which I also find is Konbyo, but is not verified and does not need to be true.

Although there is another version seen in the Soke's collection, I decided to do this version for practical reasons. 
I must say that this is just a prototype, and the image only shows the final shape of tool, but the next one will be even better in order to improve the strength of some parts to be unbreakable and safe for hard training.

Metal version will also be available.

All of you who are interested in this tool  feel free to contact me can e-mail.
