Hello,
Years ago I purchased a pair of sai that were marked " Tokyo Tokaido" on the blade. I gave them to my Sensei about 17 years ago. Recently I have been looking for another pair. I know that Tokaido stopped making Kobudo weapons years ago, but I guess they are not quite "antiques" yet. Does anyone know where I may be able to find more of these weapons? Also I have found and purchased several pairs of used sai on ebay that are stamped with "Tokido". My Sensei says they are authentic despite the spelling. The spelling is different than the modern spelling. Are they authentic "Tokaido"sai or old knockoffs. The balance and craftsmanship is superior by far to the new "production" sai I have worked with. Does anyone know anything about these weapons?
