Damien Romero’s EXN Nunchaku has innovative features beyond our standard nunchaku. In addition to aluminum caps, five chain links, and steel hardware, bearings make the action incredibly smooth. Each handle is handmade on a lathe and matched in diameter and weight. The distinctive divot in the ends of the handles are a trademark of the weapons master. Damien Romero’s EXN Nunchaku are exclusive to Ryukyu Woodworks.
