Deluxe Extra Heavy Hanbo Hickory/Ipe Hybrid 36" x 1.25"

Regular price $87.00

Items Available: 1

This is a 100% handmade wooden Hanbo Staff, and is an upgrade to common rattan staffs. The Hanbo or Half Staff is a traditional Okinawan training tool which are used in Kobudo style martial arts.  At 36' long, it is the standard Hanbo size, Its diameter is constant through out its length, at 1.25" making this appropriate for the heaviest of uses.

The materials consist of hickory and a layer of  dark and heavy Ipe wood down the center for added straightness, beauty and weight. Hickory is the heaviest available indigenous North American wood. Ipe wood is twice as hard as Hickory on the wood hardness scale. This staff does not have any appreciable wobble, flex or hand shock.

This staff is recommended for all possible dojo uses as It adds extra heft and weight from the Ipe without sacrificing the superior durability of the hickory as the Ipe resides in the center of the staff. It is about the toughest available combination of woods 

The discounted varieties are made of the same high-quality Hickory and Ipe, however, have some other characteristics that make them unsuitable for contact, such as a pin knot or non-straight grain. 

Hickory can come in several shades of brown, including having light and dark brown wood on the same staff. Each staff is unique and has its own markings, these markings are aesthetic in nature and in no way affect the integrity of the staff. 


It is finished with several coats of linseed and beeswax oil, which gives it a permanent shine and protective layer while allowing the users hands to slip effortlessly up and down the staff, which is required for proper technique.
