Since #BujinDesign (an #Aikido centric manufacturer and seller of both wooden weapons and oustanding #dogi, #hakama, etc, HQ-ed in #Colorado, ran by #ASU instructor, Ikeda sensei) closed down in 2010, it was bought out by "Aikido24" (kendo24, blahblah) and their stuff is really sub par.

Any #budo student out there will tell you how hard it's to find decent wood weapons, which are NOT eye watering expensive.
