Specifications

Designed for Iaido Practice

Iaido is a Japanese martial art centered on the precise and controlled handling of the sword. Training emphasizes movements such as drawing the sword from the scabbard, performing controlled strikes, returning the sword, and maintaining proper posture and technique.

An iaito is commonly used by practitioners for training because its blade is blunt and does not have a cutting edge. This allows practitioners to focus on the controlled movements and techniques of Iaido without using a sharpened sword.

The balanced proportions and traditional katana styling of this practice sword make it suitable for Iaido kata, sword handling practice, martial arts training, and traditional Japanese sword display.

Traditional Japanese Craftsmanship

This iaito is made in Japan, reflecting the traditional appearance and proportions of Japanese swords. The plum-patterned tsuba adds a distinctive decorative element while maintaining the classic aesthetic associated with Japanese sword fittings.

Each sword is made by hand, and availability can vary depending on current production and stock. When available, orders can generally be shipped within 1–2 days after payment is received.

If the sword is temporarily out of stock, a new sword may require several months to produce because these swords are handmade in Japan.
