Karate Tonfas


I've been working on making karate tonfas recently.  A pair is held in the hands with the long shaft protecting the forearm and is used by karate practitiors when training.  The tonfa is another example of martial arts equipment  usually being imported from distant lands, probably made by under-paid, highly-skilled workers, and made from endangered woods.  A pair can usually be bought for under £20, which is so cheap.  Too cheap for the expense to the planet and our fellow humans.  
Once I'm happy with my design, and it's been tried and tested by experienced martial artists I will sell them here.  Hopefully I'll find a way to sell a pair for under £70.
