Kendo Shinai Wax
Kendo Shinai Oil

Help protect your kendo shinai from splintering with our special wax blend formulated for bamboo kendo shinai.

Our NEW KENDO SHINAI WAX and SHINAI OIL/CREAM is the result of extensive research and development into bamboo qualities, characteristics and its use as a training tool in kendo. Bamboo is a fast growing grass and one of the hardest wood like materials in the world with a tensile strength equal to that of steel and exceeding the light weight strength of carbon graphite. Bamboo achieves its highest tensile strength when it is dry. Bamboo shinais are made by drying good quality bamboo for up to 2 years. The making of a shinai takes a high degree of craftsmanship that results in four bamboo staves that have exposed bamboo grain on the edges.

Cross section of a shinai without protection. Fibers of the bamboo appears dried. Cross section of a shinai with our shinai wax and oil/cream applied. Fibers of the bamboo appear noticeably revitalized.

The exposed bamboo grain in the shinai is very vulnerable to splintering when used in kendo. Our Shinai oil/cream is a bamboo conditioner used as a deep penetrating oil to strengthen the bamboo grain. Our shinai wax is a new product that actually seals and protects the bamboo grain quickly, increasing the life and durability without adding weight to your shinai. Essential protection for any bamboo shinai or wood bokuto.

Repeated applications of our shinai wax will give your shinai a hard, smooth and friction free wax coating. Our shinai wax is just pure wax protection that's easy to apply without any oily residue. Earth Friendly natural ingredients.

Use our Shinai Wax as a polish for your kendo Do, gives a deep lasting wax shine.

Our Shinai Wax is great as a polish for your bokuto or other wood weapons, does not leave an oily film.
