Sorry it got stuck and did not want to submit,then all of a sudden it submitted three times.I have had the opportunity to compare both sai,the Agena sai are definitely very nice,I would recommend attending a function where they are being diplayed ,to feel them for yourself.He makes more than one model,I thought the thicker ones were a little heavy,my personal oppinion. I use Shureido sai I have both the newer three peice design and the old style two peice I prefer the latter. But I would love to have a set of Agena sai someday.

The agena sai were weighted a bit heavy, perhaps more for energy transfer (as the name implies) for different techniques. I simply prefer lighter sai for quicker manipulation. All the same, as harleyt26 mentioned that he will do, I might buy one down the line, anyway.

My sensie has an original pair of Agena sai's. They are a little heavy, but the balance is supurb. They feel uniquely solid and combat ready. I found them extreemly easy to manipulate as the balanced weight moved readily. When using them there is also a real feeling of heritage. Of course I haven't seen any of these new sai's made by the guy who was taught by the original maker, but they seem identical from the pictures. If they are, then I have to say they would be the best sai's you could possibly buy. Even better then Shureido's, and I don't say that lightly.

The only two things that stand between an effective art and one that isn't are a tradition to draw knowledge from and the mind to practice it.

I had an opportunity to handle some of the agena sai again. I'll probably ask to play around with them for about half an hour before I make the decision to buy some of my own.

 

That being said, does anyone know of any significant differences between the carbon steel and the stainless steel versions?
