SH6001IGG -- Practical Plus Iaito - 29" Blade

The Practical Plus Iaito provides an economical yet authentic sword for the Iaido practitioner.
Available in 3 blade lengths (27, 28, 29) to perfectly match your needs. The blade is
unedged for safety and forged from steel for more precise weight and balance than an aluminum
blade can offer.

The blade is also maintenance free, providing a lifetime of practice without worry of
rust or tarnish. The Practical Plus features genuine Same (Rayskin) on the Tsuka, with a
tightly-woven cotton wrap (Tsuka-Ito). The long tang is double-pegged for security.

The fittings of the Practical Plus are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with lion dog
menuki, and the handsome Tsuba is of an iron “sunburst” design with a brass habaki.

Frequent Drawing Practice
These unedged training blades provide for safe drawing for the beginning practitioner
of the 450 year old art of Iaido. 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.
