WMA Shinai Hilts
Fourm101_0511
4 straight cross hilts

These hilts are a superior way to modify a bamboo shinai into a simulated European sword. The one-piece hilt is designed for quick and easy installation without the need for tape or miscellaneous individual parts. The hilt allows for easy shinai replacement if the shinai breaks. When assembled with a shinai, these hilts closely replicate the weight and balance of a real European style sword. The hilts are guaranteed for life against breakage (the hilt only, not the shinai).

New and Improved

The hilts now have flats along the grip (creating an oval shape) for improved “edge” feel, but still uses the standard round Shinai.  No need to use the expensive oval Shinai.

Improved hilt balance and new cross and pommel options.
