PK - Practical Iaito (実居合刀)

Practical Iaito

The Practical Katana have always been at the forefront of providing economical yet functional swords to the martial arts community. The Practical 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.
