I got a pair of moulded heavy rubber nunchaku, they are heavy as heck and hit like a ballbearing filled cosh. For my nunchaku I prefer a 1 cm thick extremely tightly wound nylon chord, attached by 4 nails to the inside of the nunchaku, hard to replace the chord maybe...but I can get an 8 foot length of pine or oak for not that much. Being hit by a bokken hurts enough, never-mind an unsharpened steel blade. Swords are more blunt force then finesse in terms of hitting another person (okay, there are some exceptions, but the vast majority). If it came to it, I'd prefer using a single nunchaku to two against another person in every situation, it just seems more versatile. A fun thing to try and do with two nunchaku is a thigh return turning into a wrist roll, if you do it right it looks insane.
