Musashi Iaito (武蔵居合刀)
Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the most famous sword master in Japanese history,
fought more than 60 duels before retiring and writing his famous treatise on
swordplay, the "Book of Five Rings". Development of the two-sword style of
swordplay, with the Daito (long sword) and Wakizashi being used together, is
credited to Musashi. Mounted in black, the Musashi is faithful to the original
down to the famous double-ring iron tsubas. The tsuka-ito is in leather over ray
skin. The Shinto Iaito has an un-edged training blade 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.
