Create a kendama setup that feels uniquely yours with the KIN PEAK Ken in Maple. Designed as a premium replacement ken for players looking for a reliable, comfortable and competition-ready shape, the PEAK is an all-around kendama shape built with a strong focus on modern, new-generation performance.
Made from CNC Maple, this ken offers a clean natural appearance, smooth finish and solid, responsive feel. Maple makes the PEAK a great choice for everyday practice, learning new tricks, filming, competing or building a custom kendama setup.
Built for Modern Kendama Performance
The KIN PEAK Maple Ken is ideal if you already have a tama and want to build your own setup, replace a worn ken or try the PEAK shape with a different wood type.
The balanced, ergonomic design makes goons, ken flips and modern technical tricks feel natural while providing plenty of control. The bullet spike offers improved durability, while the smooth base cup bump and touching points help with stalls and repeated play.
The wide sarado provides a stable platform for tricks such as stilts, axes and birds, while the curved sarado helps make slings feel smooth and effortless.

FAQ
Ken only FAQ
Is the tama included?
No. Ken only products include the ken and a string, not the tama. Pair it with one of our Tama Only tamas or a tama you already have.
Maple or beech: which should I choose?
Maple is harder, smoother and available in three weights, great for precision. Beech is durable, balanced and more affordable, great for daily play and your first custom setup.
Which weight should I pick for the maple ken?
Light (75–80 g) feels fast and is great for juggles and flow. Heavy (85–90 g) feels stable and helps with balance tricks. Medium (80–85 g) is a safe all-round choice.
Will my tama fit this ken?
Our kens fit all KIN tamas, so you can mix and match within the KIN range.
How fast is shipping?
We ship from Germany with DHL. Delivery within Europe usually takes 3–10 business days, free on EU orders over €100.
