Unsharpened and practice-oriented — available in both Katana and Wakizashi configurations. Noticeably more substantial in hand than aluminum-alloy training swords, this version offers a weight presence that sits closer to what practitioners may expect from a traditional steel training sword. \u003cstrong\u003eFully disassemblable\u003c\/strong\u003e for inspection, transport, and maintenance — a traditional-style removable construction that sets it apart from fixed-assembly training swords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for practitioners who train with more weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stainless steel iaito was developed for martial arts students and instructors who want more from their training sword than a lightweight aluminum-alloy option provides. While aluminum-alloy iaito are well suited for high-repetition forms work and extended sessions with minimal fatigue, some practitioners — particularly those at intermediate or advanced levels, or those who prefer more structural weight in their practice — find that a more substantial training sword better supports their development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel construction delivers that difference. It is noticeably heavier than aluminum-alloy versions, and for many practitioners the feel in hand sits meaningfully closer to a traditional steel sword — a more substantial feel through forms and draw practice, and a steadier sense of blade presence during structured training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction follows a removable, traditional-style assembly — the blade, handle, and fittings can be separated for inspection, transport, and maintenance. This is a meaningful distinction from fixed-assembly training swords and reflects a more conventional approach to how the sword is put together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an unsharpened training sword. The blade has no cutting edge and is designed primarily for dojo practice, forms work, and demonstrations rather than decorative display. Training comes first in this design, with display value as a secondary consideration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in both Katana and Wakizashi configurations to support paired practice and full curriculum requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🚚 Order before \u003cstrong\u003e2:00 PM PST\u003c\/strong\u003e — ships same business day | After 2:00 PM PST — ships next business day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-bottom:28px;font-size:13px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f8f8;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;font-weight:700;width:42%;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;font-weight:700;width:42%;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eProcess\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eCold rolled, unsharpened\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f8f8;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;font-weight:700;width:42%;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eHardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eN\/A — unsharpened stainless training sword\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;font-weight:700;width:42%;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eBo-hi (Blood Groove)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eBo-hi (fuller) on each side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f8f8;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;font-weight:700;width:42%;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eWakizashi — Training sword (Iaito)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;font-weight:700;width:42%;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eEdge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eUnsharpened — Intended for structured iaido and iaijutsu practice\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f8f8;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;font-weight:700;width:42%;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eTsuka (Handle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eGenuine Rayskin wrapped with Japanese cotton Ito \u0026amp;
