 Nami Wakizashi (波居合脇差)
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. THE NAMI IS BEING DISCONTINUED. WE
HAVE SOLD OUT OF THE 26" BLADE LENGTH AND HAVE LIMITED QUANTITIES OF THE OTHER
LENGTHS.
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.
