because I can't afford a real one. Based on a European design, but with an East meets West touch (Western head, Asian wood and some ferrules from an old sword) and the head is 1lb and 40 oz.
Honestly, I just like the detail of the head and appreciate the time the maker put in to it, I also think it's a little funny (an insult to injury). There's even a $100 rubber trainer head out there but I can't do it yet.
