Our Tsuru Iaito are a breakthrough in design and
functionality. Made of special stainless steel, they are more durable
than Iaito made of aluminum alloy. Steel feels more like a live blade
and is not prone to wobble when swung. Through a special tempering
process the Mantis Iaito do not have the brittle behavior often
associated with stainless steel. These very affordable Iaito are the ideal training
tools for safely practicing the ancient art of Iaido.

These un-edged 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. |
