- Hanwei's Gorin 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 blade is crafted in 400 series stainless steel with a simulated hamon and are fully tempered to withstand repeated drawing and practice cutting strokes.
- The blade features a bo-hi (groove), which both reduces blade weight and produces an audible feedback when practice cutting strokes are made correctly.
