Kaiju Customs — Handcrafted Wooden Martial Arts Weapons

The Maker

Built by a practitioner, for practitioners.

I’m Kris Davison — a 4th-degree black belt in ITF Taekwon-Do with over 14 years of training and four years of crafting wooden training weapons for the Western New York community.

I’m also a U.S. Navy veteran, married for 34 years, and the proud father of two adult children. Every member of my family holds at least a first-degree black belt.

What started as a way to equip my own training and local dojos has grown into a small workshop dedicated to strong, balanced, and beautiful wooden weapons.
