This product is great! I am about 6 months into Kendo & my shinai leather handle broke. The shinai is in otherwise good condition & since it is my very 1st shinai, it holds special value to me. I ordered this kit to repair it. I also ordered a new shinai from e-mudo, which I will likely use from now on but my first shinai has much blood,sweat, tears on it & is a reminder of hard work put into my Kendo. Therefore, I got this kit.
PROS: Includes everything but the shinai & string. Does the job. Includes all that is pictured. Nice quality items. Fast shipping, well packaged.
CONS: Did not include instructions. It also did not include the plastic spacer that fits between the bamboo at the top (hidden by the top leather fitting).
SUGGESTIONS: If you are new to shinai repair like myself, BE ADVISED: it is VERY hard to get a new handle on the shinai. The fit is tight. Be patient. But once I repaired my 1st shinai, it was worth the $10 to bring it back to life!
My review is a MUST READ!
