ITEM EXCLUSIVE to our armory. Ipe, Brazilian Walnut Wakizashi Shoto

This wood is very hard! It is very good for contact against other Wakizashi Shoto or bokken. Tough as nails! Has a fine to medium texture, with the grain varying from straight to irregular and/or interlocked. Ipe is among the most durable lumbers on earth, with exceptional resistance to decay, rot, and insect attack.

Finally, Ipe is a wood of extremes: extremely dense and durable, as well as extremely difficult to work. Its incredible hardness and strength make it well suited for flooring applications. Some common uses for Ipe include: flooring, decking, exterior lumber, veneer, tool handles, and other turned objects.

Overall a very good wood for Wakizashi Shoto.
