Jutte Beech wood | Handmade wooden Jutte

We had a chance to use these Jutte last Friday. They performed pretty well. We didn't dare to do a full swing 'swordcatch'because we didn't know how well they would hold up. Still, we but quite a bit of pressure on the hook in several locks, and it held, so pretty good gear so far.

Advantages: These are wood, so are a lot safer to train with.
The hook is well curved and fits most boken easily.
Also, wood hurts soo much less than metal in locks and strikes... ;-)

Disadvantages: These wooden jutte are obviously much wider and clunckier than metal ones.

good for pratice with bokken
strong construction

Disadvantages: strong but no unbreakable, due to the construction with wood pin
