[Previous inquiries] Q. Can this product be used in competitions? A. Yes, you can use it in competitions without any issues, so please rest assured. Q. Why is the regular shinai priced at 2,190 yen (excluding tax) while this one is 1,400 yen (excluding tax)? A. The quality of the bamboo is almost the same, but this one has more blemishes and scratches than the regular shinai, and the shape of the handle leather differs, which accounts for the price difference. [Are scratches on the bamboo surface considered defects?] When the product arrives and you try to use the shinai, you might notice blemishes or scratches on the surface and worry, "Is this a defective product?" If the scratches are natural marks caused by rubbing against neighboring bamboo, there is no problem. In fact, bamboo with such natural marks tends to be stronger. Bamboo that has been exposed to external stimuli grows stronger over time.
