Original look training Kyoketsu Shoge

Dear Budo friends, 

long time I devoted to searching for the original Kyoketsu shoge. I know that there is not only one unique form of Kyoketsu shoge,  but what we find nowadays usually does not match the true purpose of this tool, all that  comes from the time of the Ninja mania, with large number of movies and a lot of books.
The most common mistake is in the handle of this tool, it is usually to short which destroys the geometry and balance of tool. 

I will complete this article with more examples and information soon

I based my Kyoketsu according to this picture, which show one of the most logical and most original form, source is Soke Hatsumi as you could see

Box and stand

Dear Buyu's,

one of my old idea is finally realized, because my friend needed a gift for some of his friends, and here it is. 
The idea was to make a box for storage, which can also be used as a stand for presentation. What you see is a box for Tanto, but is possible to make a case for Wakizashi,Katana, or something else.

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.
