Product detailed description
Böker Magnum Kiai – a training sword in the style of a traditional katana
The Böker Magnum Kiai is a modern take on the classic bokken, a wooden training sword used in Japanese martial arts such as Iaido, Aikido, Kenjutsu, and Kendo. It is ideal for safe training without the risk of injury that would be present when using sharp blades.
Unlike traditional wooden weapons, the Magnum Kiai combines durability and authentic appearance thanks to its modern material composition of polypropylene and fiberglass. This combination ensures high strength, flexibility, and long life, so the sword can withstand even intense training.
Its dimensions correspond to those of a real katana sword, making it suitable for both partner exercises and kata techniques. It also features realistic details such as the Bo-Hi groove, the decorative Hamon tempering line, and an imitation of the traditional Tsukamaki handle wrapping, which enhance its aesthetic value.
The equipment includes a removable Maru-Gata (round) guard (Tsuba), which can be easily attached or removed according to personal preference or specific discipline.
Böker Magnum Kiai – a faithful and durable training katana for anyone who wants to perfect their skills in the spirit of Japanese traditions.

The roots of Böker go back to the 17th century, when the family forge operated in Remscheid and focused on steel processing and edge tools. Over time, practical experience shaped a technical mindset that balanced durability, cutting performance, and reliability. The expansion into sabres and rapiers around 1829–1830 marked a decisive technological step, demanding precise heat treatment and consistent blade geometry. With more than a hundred skilled craftsmen employed, the company gained the capacity to refine production without losing its artisanal foundation.
During the second half of the 19th century, parts of the family moved to North America, establishing facilities in the USA and Canada. This international presence allowed experimentation with new designs and materials. Today, major production remains in Solingen, supported by manufacturing in the USA and Argentina, while modern CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and repeatable results. Böker develops knives in-house and in collaboration with well-known makers, delivering tools that combine engineering precision with practical usability, including the widely distributed MAGNUM line aimed at robust everyday performance.
