I received my aluminum practice sword in 13 days. Very light and and blunt blade makes the swoosh sound. It is about what I expected.

I have absolutely LOVED every actual katana I have purchased from you and I love these unsharpened ones too! They're perfect to keep up practice without damaging my kickboxing stand on the off chance I miss. Cool swords! Thank you!

The Good: this iaito has a nice simple aesthetic. The blade and handle are well balanced and it is sufficient for beginner Iaido training.
The Bad: at this price point there are some compromises that have been made that I would like to see changed on a newer model. They are as follows.

1. The plastic saya is disappointing. Plastic shavings get stuck to the blade, there’s a lot of rattle, and even a cheap wooden saya would have been much preferred to plastic.
2. The edge of the iaito is kind of fat. This might be a good thing for beginners worried about stabbing themselves (iaito can still be sharp on the tip, even sharp enough to cut flesh or stab into something) but a thinner and more refined edge would have been better.
3. The handle wrapping is a little loose, but for the price that is expected.


Despite all these negatives the sword definitely allows me to train in a way that’s better than a bokken for Iaido and for that I would recommend it for a tight budget iaidoka looking for their first training iaito.

The ordering process and the shipping were quick, and while the katana is nicely weighted, I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed in the quality of the piece. It doesn't slide easily out of the Saya and there are rough, somewhat unfinished edges on the Tsuba. As a secondary training sword, it'll be fine, I guess.

Great sword and super fast shipping. The sword is really light and will be great to use to practice tricks.

Paint on the katana blade was scratched and after a few draws from the plastic Saya it received more scratches. The koiguchi was incredibly tight.
Other than that it arrived quickly and will make a good practice katana. It feels good in the hand.
Next time I would not get the painted blades.

The Iaito is incredible no rattling and every thing is well put together the only thing I didn't like was the saya made from hard plastic

Sword was as described personally the ito wrap was too dark for me but the munuki we're beautiful same with all the other fittings and all we're secured tightly. A couple problems though is that the blade doesn't fit perfectly in the saya so there's a little bit of a rattle and secondly the habaki is just pressure fit to the koiguchi so it's tight but not the tightest fot will fall out if you shake it too much while its facing down, but other than those two things the sword is awesome will be buying from here again someday.

Katana was just as described, great detail to workmanship and good quality from what I can see. Not as light as I thought it would be but still much lighter than my other steel swords. This sword will be used for performing katas that require spinning and twirling.

Will show it to students to see if they like it, then will order more.

Blade was a little bent but other than that amazing packaging and good craftsmanship!

Great practice sword. Few minor cosmetic issues, but it's a practice sword that is likely to get nicked up anyway. Would purchase again.

Very well built, very easy to use for Iaido. The only thing I was surprised on was that the Habaki had a lot of wear on it which was strange for a new item but it doesn’t affect the use of the sword in any way.
