Wooden Steel was formed with the intention of creating one of a kind, hand-crafted training tools for the serious martial arts community. Our owner was instilled at an early age with an appreciation for the beauty of hand crafted workmanship as an apprentice to a Master Potter. He later was given the same reverence for the martial arts by his first instructor in Tae Kwon Do /Hapkido. After spending 5 years training in Tae kwon do/Hapkido and 4 years in the Navy as well as brief tenures with various training partners our founder discovered Sanuces Ryu Jujitsu, founded by the legendary Dr. Moses Powell. The combination of disciplines is now combined in Wooden Steel's lines of Hand Crafted Hardwood Practice Weapons, as well as a line of Live Blades and Exotic Hardwood Weapon Replicas.

There are others who make hand crafted Bokken, sword, knife, and cane. While the others have good quality, they are usually very specialized. Our hope is to expand our products to encompass many different types and styles of weaponry.
