Note: As of April 6th 2008 import and sales of this item are now strictly controlled within the UK. Call or e-mail for information,but we still can supply it to any one with ''''Permitted activity'''' it is simple and straight forward.

Our Nami (SH5019), Gorin (SH5020) and Tsuru (SH5021) iaito Wakisashi 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.
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 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.
The Wakisashis are made to match the Iaito Nami (SH5006 – SH5009), Gorin (SH5010 – SH5013) and Tsuru (SH5014 – SH5017)
