Where can I get real Sai (weapons-grade sai) in the U.S.?

Question

I like to buy knives and wanted to make sure I got the good stuff, NOT any demo props or toys.

No smart remarks,

Thank you.

Answer 1

I buy mine on ebay

Answer 2

As another post said Shureido sai are the way to go.  If you want to play around almost any sai are OK. But if you are serious about learning to use the sai the Shureido sai can't be beaten for balance and quality.   I've been using sai since the late 1960's and have used many different brands.  By far the Shureido are the easiest to learn to use. Compared to other sai the others feel like a bag full of doorknobs.

Down side is that Shureido Sai start at $155 and up.   Good thing is that if you ever buy them you will never want to use anything else. I have several pair, both black Iron and Chrome. They are at least 25 years old and still in good condition after rough use.

Answer 3

I have bought them several places all over the USA. Check your local martial arts stores. Check martial arts magazines too. they usually have ads for various martial arts weapons.

Answer 5

I bought mine at an army base but depending on where you live most martial arts stores should have them. If not than they can order them for you. Good luck bro. Its a really great weapon!

Answer 6

Okay, don't bother to get them used, weapons aren't really that reliable and most people don't take good care of them, which is even more noticable with combat steel, i say try Wing Lam just google it, it's where I get all of my martial arts stuff.
