Stippling
Price is dependent on if you have any mock ito for me to grind off before stippling. If it’s a smooth handle already then I can just stipple over that but if it’s got the mock ito then I have to grind that off before I can stipple it. Depending on your system you may want the middle of the handle left smooth or wrap over it with some tennis racket tape so as to not abrade training partners.
Rounding ends
Often times a bokken comes with a sharp point or the end of the handle will be squared off. in the case of the point this can obviously be a safety concern and the end of the handle can be both a comfort issue as well as a safety concern in some circumstances.
Rounding spine
The sharper spine on some polypropylene weapons leads to the spine denting more easily with use but rounding the spine over a bit can make it more durable.
