This is a Daisho  bokuto, I  called them the basic  version,  
you may find it similar to  other bokken that you can  buy, but I assure you it is  not.
If you look at the  details, curvature,  lines, you'll see that I have tried ( in my way) to unify  Bokuto and Shinken
I am aware of the fact that any piece of wood or branches, can be used as  a bokken or bokuto, but it is valid when you  are in nature, and do  not bring your bokken with  you.
 However, when you're in the dojo, and if you respect Budo, then I think it deserves at least one good bokken or bokuto.
In way that person choose  Shinken,  the same principle applies equally well to  bokken, at least this is my humble opinion.
This could  be called the most widely used form of blades, although it is actually difficult to say, given the range of the  blade, which the Japanese  blacksmiths through the centuries have.  
Because  people mostly purchase a similar type  blade, and the curvature  is not too large, so it is possible make such a Daisho of exotic  wood planks,  I decided  that this becomes the basic form  of Daisho from my workshop, that's why I called them the basic  version






How do your tsuba stay fixed without shifting around during use? They look fantastic.
