I used the Shinki Silver today at training.
I like.
The weight is solid, cut weight feels like a bokken, which is really good. My cut speed is about the same if not a little slower perhaps, but it makes my cut focus greater, waiting or generating openings more than just trying to force cuts into places.
The sound it makes is very strong, the men cut sounds awesome. I like very much.
The down side though is that the grip is thin, and while I had good grip on it, it probably wasn't as tight as I could have had on it. I got disarmed during jigeiko, but I don't know if that is due to being tired, or the thinness of the grip.
The people at my club who saw it and held it all said it was like an anorexic shinai, and were surprised by the weight of it considering how thin it was. ^_^
