Any reason for my dad to go buy power tools makes him happy. I am quite profiecient in the use of wooden nanchaku, and am perpared to move forward with the use of metal and chain, or atleast to get a feel for them. I have used wooden nanchaku for almost 3 years now(off & on due to school). Can you suggest any good sites to buy them from? I am a real cheap * but want good quality (a contradiction, I know). I would perfer a place to choose from different sizes beside 8" or 12". My length is 10.5" and perfer something closer to it. Something I can adjust the chain to fit my hand would also be nice, or atleast a pair that does not have just 2" of chain.The incorrect length can really pinch ya as ya get use to em. I am actually quite picky on what I use, thus the whole reason I perfer to create my own. Also, will they even mail them to California, since they are illegal outside a dojo? Please & thanks, Hey You Man
