1. Handling Adjusted for Iaido

Weight and balance tuned so most people can swing it one-handed with ease

Produces a clear tachikaze (whistling sound) to assist with tracking blade angle

Rikko-style handle provides a naturally secure grip

Excellent for form correction, speed training, and kata practice

2. Built for Long-Term Durability

Everything is engineered for repeated daily use without loosening or damage:

Handle Structure

Dual POM mekugi ensure the handle remains secure over years of practice

Hishigami paper-core wrap keeps the ito tight, clean, and stable

Dirt-resistant, easy to maintain, and does not loosen over time

Blade & Finish

Mirror-polished blade resists rust better than satin finishes

Strong hardness + excellent elasticity ensures the blade will not bend or break during normal practice

Saya & Fittings

Stone-texture lacquered saya highly resistant to chips and dents

Fittings are securely mounted and resistant to loosening

Built to withstand constant drawing and sheathing practice
Important Note

This Iaido sword is a training-grade, non-sharpened blade.
It is designed specifically for form practice, drawing, sheathing, and Iaido techniques—not for cutting.
