Traditional Japanese Iaito Craftsmanship
The iaito is a modern Japanese practice sword developed specifically for the study of Iaido and Japanese sword arts. Unlike a sharpened katana, an iaito has an unsharpened blade, allowing practitioners to train sword movements and kata without using a cutting blade.
This iaito is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city with a long history of Japanese blade craftsmanship. Its zinc alloy construction provides a durable alternative to the aluminum alloy commonly used in many practice swords.
Designed for Iaido
The Minamoto Kyomaru Deluxe Iaito is designed for practitioners who want a traditional Japanese sword feel during Iaido training. Its 74 cm blade, 25.5 cm handle, and approximately 1,150 g total weight provide a substantial training sword suitable for practicing controlled movements and kata.
The blade is intentionally unsharpened and should be used only for appropriate martial arts practice, training, or display. Always follow your instructor's guidance and handle the iaito responsibly.
