Craft Kendama - Saga Shape - Complete
or 
100% American Made! Working inside the Craft shop gives our team the unmatched ability to experiment, create, and refine our Kendama shapes to a level of precision we could never imagine when we first started making Kendamas.
When building the Saga shape we took inspirations from our classic Shift and Nova shapes, and added modern improvements for next generation playability. We built a thick slip ring for a solid, compact grip at the base of the Ken. The cup rims are angled for secure stalls and stilt tricks. We smoothed out many of the angles for a softer overall feel, and a comfortable experience for juggles.
Pick from your choice of sustainably sourced North American maple or birch wood. Like all Crafts, every Saga Shape Ken is made with care here in the USA by experienced Kendama players. Craft Kendamas stand at the pinnacle of Kendama quality and engineering. Designed by Kendama USA for next-generation play and performance, the Saga shape is the latest in Kendama evolution; unmatched in playability and balance.
Craft Kendamas are exceptional on so many levels. These are NOT mass-produced Kendamas from overseas. This extraordinary level of craftsmanship and care results in a Kendama that will elevate your game.
Wood Options:
All wood in the Craft shop is sustainably sourced from the highest quality North American timber.
Yellow Birch
Birch offers players durability and grip in a great weight range for Kendamas. Yellow birch is a very resilient and durable species, and has quickly become one of our favorite North American wood species work with.
White Ash
Ash wood is strikingly beautiful. The spaced and porous growth rings will provide you with a coarse surface, give you a natural grip. Ash wood is durable and lightweight with a texture that you'll love. When it comes to unpainted nattys, nothing is quite like our ash tamas.
Hard Maple
Hard Maple is the strongest of the maple species and its closed grain structure gives the Ken a smooth feel and crisp sounding contacts. Maple wood has an elegant wavy grain, and is the most resistant to scratches and dents. Maple has become the favorite Ken wood of many pro players worldwide.
