Shinto Iaito (神道 居合刀)
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. The Shinto is mounted in black and the
tsuka-ito is made of premium black Japanese cotton. The saya is finished in a
deep black lacquer with a black cotton sageo. A finely rendered dragon, detailed
in gold, with true front-and-back detail, forms the black iron tsuba. The
fittings are superbly antiqued adding to the aesthetics of the set.
