(More customer reviews)For anyone interested in purchasing an Iaito (a practice, unsharpened katana), this is not the sword for you. Although "iaido iaito" is in the name of the product, the sword itself is sharp. After calling Martial Arts Land (which has great customer service by the way), they confirmed the error in marketing this product as an "iaito", and will proceed to make changes. The sword itself is well put together; it feels sturdy. It was relatively easy to disassemble, and easy to put back together. The fittings are extremely plain, there are no markings whatsoever on the kashira/fuchi, and there is only a light "web" pattern on the Tsuba. Even so, it gives the sword a simple elegance. There are minor aesthetic issues, such as some black smudges on the habaki, a minuscule gap between the blade and the habaki on one side, suspicious-looking same... (see customer pictures for more details) but overall I was pleased with the quality of the product. However, as I was looking for an unsharpened blade to safely practice Shinkendo, I will be exchanging this with another, true iaito from Martial Arts Land.

This is the Musashi Practice Handmade Iaido Iaito Katana Sword. The blade of the steel has been hand crafted from through hardened high carbon steel. The blade is full tang and comes unsharpened. The Tsuba has been constructed from blackened steel alloy in the classic Musashi double ring design.
