Thank you, Tom. Would you know how old it might be? Any further info would be appreciated.
Regards,
Bruce

Hey Bruce,
What you've got is a fairly modern commercially made sai that can be purchased from just about any martial arts supply for anywhere from $20-40.
I have the same set from when I was a teenager and still practicing regularly. It looks like the previous owner took the leather off the grip, and started taking the teflon coating off as well (the black stuff). I did the same thing, as the teflon chips off rather quickly once you start using them.
Hope this helps,
