A bō or kon, is a long staff, usually made of tapered hard wood, for example, white oak, bamboo and in some cases, for training purposes, rotan. Sometimes, it is made of metal or plated with metal for extra strength; also, a full-size bō is sometimes called a rokushakubō.
The bō is Donatello's weapon of choice. The bo is a versatile weapon, able to defend as well as attack. Its length allows the user to keep enemies at a distance and twirling the staff quickly can block attacks.
This matches Donnie well, as he is more along the lines of defense and strategies more than offense. There's a running gag where his staff is easily destroyed by an enemy.
