| Hands | One-handed |
| Base damage | 10–12 |
| Weapon speed | 2 seconds |

| Hue | 0 [!] — undyed: a plain Bokuto wears its art's own colours, which is how the picture is drawn. A crafted one takes the colour of the metal or wood it is made from. |
How fast it actually swings depends on your stamina and Swing Speed Increase — the toolkit's weapon builder and Reference › Weapons work that out for your character.
