Item Specs

If one wishes to pursue study of Japanese sword arts, one must first acquire a good beginner’s sword. In iaido specifically, beginners all start with iaito, or unsharpened swords. This allows practitioners to practice with what is, for all intents and purposes, a real sword, and helps get them used to weight, balance, safety and maintenance procedures without the danger element a sharpened blade brings. It is always best to start with a light iaito and work up to heavier swords as muscle tone and skill level increase.

This is our Munetoshi Junior Edition Aluminum Iaito Ko Kuro. The iaito is perfect for youths and smaller practitioners. It is very light and fast, aiding in proper technique application. It features a prominent bohi which offers an audible whistle when edge alignment is correct. It’s also aesthetically pleasing with a lovely etched hamon, sukashi tsuba, real ray skin and cotton ito.

This sword comes with a FREE black sword bag.

Features

Blade: The blade is made of incredibly light aluminum alloy and features a beautiful aesthetic hamon. It also features a bohi which provides audible feedback when the sword is swung to ensure good edge alignment.
The kissaki is a chu, or medium length.
The blade is unsharpened for safe swordsmanship practice.
Saya: The saya is lacquered an elegant black and features a brass-fitted kurigata and cotton sageo.
Tsuka: The tsuba is blackened Iron in an elegant sukashi style. The tsuka features a double pinned mekugi and a brass flower menuki. The samegawa (ray skin) is crisp white, with black cotton ito tsukamaki.

Munetoshi Junior Edition Iaito Sword Ko Kuro	February 29, 2012
Reviewer: Honor Ceh from Toronto, ON Canada

I am a very petite woman and have difficulty finding weapons that fit my frame.

I own another Iaito that was custom-made in Japan so that the blade was the correct length. It was extremely expensive to have made and it required a great deal of persuasion with the manufacturer to have them make me a sword with a Shaku measurement as small as what I wanted.

You can only imagine my delight at buying the Junior Edition Munetoshi and discovering that it is a better size for me than my more expensive custom-made Iaito! I do not practice Iaido regularly so the Munetoshi is perfect to be used as my training sword and I now keep the custom-made Iaito for display, demo's and gradings.

I will not hesitate to recommend your Iaito's to other students and I will certainly consider buying another Iaito from you in the future!

My daughters love this!	February 16, 2012
Reviewer: Amy from WI United States

This sword is just the right length for my 10 year old (a little too long for the 8 year old). It seems solid and well put together, is very light with good balance, and has an attractive traditional appearance. The slightly rounded blade tip means they won't poke their hands while practicing resheathing. It even came with some replacement bits for handle maintenance.

exellent value junior iaito	July 29, 2011
Reviewer: sensei richard jones from ledbury, herefordshire United Kingdom

great iaito for a child. Very impressed for the price. The ha is about 1mm wide and the kissaki tip is rounded off so there is absolutely no chance of injury. My 10 yr old nephew has one now and its great for him. I highly recommend this iaito for the price. These are also not easy to come by, I'm a sensei from uk and took me a long time to track one down

This was my first purchase from this vendor and I was extremely satisfied. The sword that I purchased exceeded my expectations. And it was delivered in a very timely manner. I would most definitely shop here again and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality sword.
