Krabi Krabong equipment

[andmusicforall]

I've been researching the thai art for quite a while now and have discovered much since. There is one question that still plagues me, however, where on the internet can you buy ANY equipment for the art? I've found but one site with a pair of seemingly feeble short swords and nothing more.

Also, in training could two wakizashi bokken be used in place of the short swords used by the thais? In fact, could real wakizashi be used in place of those swords?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I think they are the same length, so my vote is yes, but I'm not certain.
