Radagast Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Hello, I am looking for tonfa, but I have fairly large hands. I see that I can custom order some from Japan for like $200 USD plus shipping but I was hoping for less.My options seem to be either a 3.25" handle with a significant pommel, or a 4.5" handle with virtually no pommel. I have already purchased both of these options and neither work really well.I'm looking for a 4" handle and 20" length approximately, with a decent sized pommel.Does anyone know of a North American supplier who has anything like this?Thanks

Fat Cobra Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I agree, Torii is very good...it will take a long time though. The last order I put through them took 4 months! Godan in Ryukyu KempoHead of the Shubu Kan Dojo in Watertown, NY(United Ryukyu Kempo Alliance)
