Black Locust Nunchaku

Black Locust Nunchaku

These 12 inch Black Locust Nunchaku have been in the shop a few times over the years.  It is not an easy wood to get a hold of but it is a very strong and durable hardwood.   It is also very hard to work with and you have to go through much of it come away with usable wood.  These nunchaku are extremely durable, cut resistant, and remarkably stiff, which allow martial artists to master techniques, footwork, and the basic stances.  USA Nunchaku’s 12 inch Black Locust Nunchaku are made from The Black Locust Tree (Robinia_pseudoacacia) , these nunchaku are all are handmade, shaped, oiled, sanded and strung.  Like all of our nunchaku each of one of kind made one at a time.   All are 100% made, sold and shipped in the United States.

Traditional Nunchaku Design

Unlike mass produced martial arts weapons made overseas, we designed our nunchaku to be easy to hold, not get sticky and give you confidence as you practice your forms.  Originally the nunchaku was designed from farming tools in China.  Occupied Chinese were not allowed to have weapons and a whole range of new weapons sprung from the tools at hand.  Our nunchaku are not mass produced, each one is made one at a time.  We use exotic hardwoods and try to get every inch of wood used in our product.  Some of these woods are hard to find in usable sizes so we take great care to get the most out of each piece.  The design is to last and be durable.  We take out the least amounts of wood to keep them strong and use rope that will only fill the voids to make them easy to repair.  This model uses a 650 para cord tie with three ropes in between the nunchaku. We have re string kits available as well as instruction as to how to re string our nunchaku when it becomes necessary.
