As a result, the wood is free for moving without cracks and pealing and it doesn't stick on the hands and has a velvet touch.

If maintenance is needed, super-fine  sandpaper (600-grit) can be used.

The tonfa may have originated as the handle of a millstone used for grinding grain. The weapon can be used to block, punch or strike. It is excellent for strengthening the practitioner’s wrists, forearms and grip. It is a very difficult weapon to control and used efficiently. The Tonfa (more commonly known) can be pronounced many ways, such as “tunfa” and “Tunkua”. According to old Okinawan documents, Tuifa seems to have been the right name.
