Features:

• Dimensions: 12.1 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm
• Weight: 20 g

Recommendations for use:

• Wear gloves when using the Takemagakun.
• Always start with the rough surface, which is less prone to fouling as wax may have been applied to the surface of new products.
• Always use the Takemagakun from base to tip.
  (If rubbing in the opposite direction, the sheath may stick to your hand and cause injury.)
• Keep away from the fire. It may deform due to high temperatures.
• Do not use in water: adhesive may come off.
• Do not use on Carbon Shinai.

Advice from the Masamune Team :

• Check your Shinai, its general condition and each of its components regularly.
• Do not leave your tools exposed to direct sunlight.
• If a slat on your Shinai is broken, it should be replaced to avoid injury during training.
