Description

These latest Hanwei Practical Iaito swords combine the balance and feel of the Performance Series with the affordability of the Practical series. The removable handle is tightly wrapped in the traditional style with imitation leather to provide a positive grip that will withstand years of kata practice.

These unedged training swords provide for safe drawing for the beginning practitioner of the 450 year old art of Iaito. Forged from stainless steel the tempered blades are not only maintenance-free but more importantly provide the correct weight and balance needed for the rigors of repetitive drawing and sword motion practice. Each blade has a deeply cut groove (bo-hi) to provide audible feedback when swung properly.
