Eku (kobudo oar)

The word 'Eku' is actually the name of the tree from which the oar is made but is synonymous with reference to the oar which is also sometimes called a 'kai bo'.  The Okinawan oar is a beautiful polearm whose weight distribution changes the fight entirely.  


Our go to features

- 5ft or 6ft length (the paddle is 2:3 ratio with the handle)

- rounded or pointed end 

- traditional convex angles on the top side

- traditional subtle concave curve on the back side

- unique ovular handle for comfort and indexing 

- sanded to 320 grit

- 5+ coats of oil for wood beauty and health 

   10-15 coats needed for complete sealing and sustained sheen

- custom engraving/burning, or inlay
