I wasn't sure i was going to like the square body but I'm sold on them. These tonfa are solid. I like the tapered handle with the bigger knob, I'm very happy with these.  

Good balance, smooth finish, very solid.   

I purchased the 19" for my 11 year old son and wife. The handles on the 19" are sized down for a smaller hand. (unlike some other brands I researched) They are came unfinished so no sanding is required. These are very sturdy and well made. For the money you cannot beat them.   

These fit the hand perfect and are very easy to spin. Very happy with the purchase.  

I received my tonfa impressively fast, but far more impressive was the quality! I had purchased a tapered set elsewhere for my wife, which were good, but these squared ones are massive and intimidating!!! Not only that, they seem to be made in the old Okinawan style with wooden pegs holding in the handle, unlike almost all of the tapered sets I'd found on any site!   

These are fairly hefty, and hold up really well to the cane and bokken I've been sparring against. once the finish has been sanded off of the handle, they spin quite well, and the bare wood is actually quite nice looking. I was surprised to find that the handle is properly held in by dowels instead of just glue. mine has a small chip that i may just sand off, but that is really my only complaint. also - to get the sticker residue off just don't use water - rub it to build of fiction and it will bead up and come off easily.   

I just got these tonfa and they're great. I do have a few nitpicks though. The finish job was incomplete, and it came with a sticker on one that left residue. The only real problem, however, is that it is very difficult to spin these. They aren't balanced very well, and the handles are on at a slight angle to the main piece. These aren't the right tonfa if you want to perform a Kata, but they seem great for sparring, and since that's what I bought them for, I am very happy with them.  

This is a great product. Everyone should get it  

This was my first pair of tonfa, and I began my training with them. Within about 2 weeks one of the handles became loose, and then shortly after completely came out, slightly shattered. I wasn't even making contact with anything. It apparently couldn't hold the wear of spinning the tonfa.  

I am a person who loves the tonfa, and I have four pairs, some of which I have altered to suit my needs. My problem with a lot of tonfa is that the hand grips are designed for a person with larger hands. This pair fits me like it was a made-to-measure pair, giving me the control I need for figure 8's. I already have a pair of light-weight competition tonfa, and I was unsatisfied with them. The additional weight is what I really needed for Tonfa Kyono Kata. For the first time I can say that just using this pair makes my form look better. One must still practice regularly, and for me, having this pair makes practice more fun.
