Greetings all, as those of you at the BBQ are aware, I am putting together a group order for shinai (the bamboo kendo swords we use in saber practice) from e-bogu.com. It is my hope that everyone who plans to participate in the saber training will get one. I am most willing to loan out what I have but I have only 4 standard shinai. The customs that I have made have their uses and are great fun, but the best training comes from the standard ones as these best approximate the dimentions of a lightsaber.
If we can manage to order at least 4 I can get them for $25.00 each, if we can order 10 the price MAY go down to around $21 each. I do not need the $$ right away, I am simply putting this out to see if anyone is interested.

Please post here if you would like in on this and how many you would like.

I'm very interested in purchasing a Shinai that I can customize.

Unfortunately, it could be more than a month before I have any spare money... I'm trying to scrounge enough money for a trip to the Coast next month. My little sister is getting married.



EDIT: Thank you smudge for the link. I look forward to droolling when I have more time.....

Ok, I have gotten some interest for this so it's time to finalize things. Please post here with the # you are committing to buy. Price is $25 per shinai if we order between 4 and 9 of them. If we can get 10 of them, the price drops to $21 each

Kelli and I are probably interested in 2, but we'll have to look at this month's finances before we commit to anything.

We need 2. Are there different sizes depending on whether you are a youth. One would be for sam. If so we might need three two adult one youth.

Thanks, Abba_suna

Ok folks, let's get this going! bring me the $$ and I'll get the sticks ordered. (sorry but I can't afford to front the whole $100). I'll post records on here of who has paid and for what, as well as order status. If anyone is curious, I'm going through www.e-bogu.com, a company I have dealt with many times. They have the best shinai I have ever seen and great prices to boot!
I will take cash, checks or paypal, whichever is easiest!
