Weighing 1.95 lb with a full tang construction, it replicates the balance and feel of a live katana while ensuring safety. Featuring a fuller groove for audible swing feedback, a genuine rayskin-wrapped handle, and a bamboo crest tsuba, it comes complete with a black lacquered saya and protective sword bag—perfect for serious martial artists seeking authentic training tools or elegant display pieces. ## Description This unsharpened aluminum alloy katana iaito is built for iaido and iai kata, letting you practice nukitsuke (the draw) and noto (the re-sheathing) with the balance and weight of a katana but without a live edge. Each roughly 28-inch blade carries a fuller (fuller groove) down its length, producing an audible sound as you swing so you can hear and correct your form during solo practice. Construction is signed full tang, pinned with a mekugi peg for a solid, secure feel through repeated draws. The handle is wrapped in genuine rayskin (samegawa) under black cotton ito over a menuki, shaped for a steady two-handed grip, while the blade rests in a black lacquered wooden saya tied with a matching black cotton sageo. Select models feature different tsuba motifs, from a carved wolf or dragon relief to a pierced kiku wheel, bamboo crest, or Musashi design, so you can pick the guard that speaks to you while the core training platform stays the same. Every model in this family ships with its lacquered saya and a protective sword bag, ready for iaido practice, martial arts training, or display. This is a training tool, not a live blade, and is not intended for practice. ## Features - 【Bamboo Katana Iaito】 An unsharpened aluminum alloy katana iaito for iaido and iai kata — drawing (nukitsuke) and re-sheathing (noto).
