Description

Iron Wood Nunchaku (Lignum Vitae)

The Iron Wood Nunchaku is an  american made nunchaku.  This is an argentinian version of the species that is slightly less dense and more brown in color but this version only grows in Argentina.  All other claims of ironwood are fake.  USA Nunchaku’s Iron Wood Nunchaku are made from “ironwood” Lignum Vitae (Argentina) This is one of the the heaviest and most dense wood we use as well as the most expensive.  These are a special set we have not made in a number of years due to the cost.   These nunchaku are all are handmade, shaped, oiled, sanded and strung.  Like all of our nunchaku each of one of kind, 100% made in the United States.  If you are looking for a more affordable similar hardwood, we have you covered!  Check out the Brazilian Walnut IPE.

We have a very limited supply, but more Lignum sets are currently being made.

As of 2020 there is no “real” Lignum Vitae (Genuine) hardwood available in sizes that can work for our nunchaku.  It is a hardwood that is next to impossible to find.  There are some counterfeit woods being sold as “ironwood” on other sites but beware.  Lignum Vitae (Genuine) only grows in the Caribbean and South America.  It is not found anywhere else.

Traditional Nunchaku Design

Unlike mass produced martial arts weapons made overseas, we designed our Iron wood 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.  We have re string kits available as well as instruction as to how to re string our nunchaku when it becomes necessary.

  • Realistically practice self-defense, martial art forms and demonstrations with the feel and maneuverability of real weapons
  • Unlike polypropylene, wood feels great allowing martial artists to practice as much as they like
  • Quiet rope design for training
  • Octagon-shaped grip with grooves for a more realistic experience
  • heavyweight and durable
