 Gorin Wakizashi (五輪居合脇差)
The Nami, Gorin and Tsuru iaito are a breakthrough in design and
functionality. Made of a special stainless steel, they are much more durable
than aluminum alloy Iaito. Steel has the "feel" of a live blade and is not prone
to distort when making a practice cutting stroke. These very affordable practice
swords are the ideal training tools for safely practicing the ancient art of
Iaido.
Study on the use of the Japanese sword is a very serious endeavor. Students
of Iaido (Way of the Sword Draw) typically learn the sword using various
instruments. Most likely they will begin with a bokken / bokuto (wooden sword)
and then an Iaito (un-edged training sword) before handling a Shinken (live
sword). Iaito are an integral tool in the learning process allowing students to
practice with a sword with a sense of safety for themselves and for those around
them. Iaito by CAS Hanwei are light (less than 2lbs.) and extremely well
balanced to reduce the wear-and-tear on specific joints. The un-edged blades are
crafted in 400 series stainless steel with a simulated hamon and are fully
tempered to withstand repeated drawing and practice cutting strokes. Each blade
features a bo-hi (groove), which both reduces blade weight and produces an
audible feedback when practice cutting strokes are made correctly.
