The Practical Plus Iaito provides an economical yet authentic sword for the Iaido practitioner.
The Practical Plus Iaito from Paul Chen provides an economical yet authentic sword for the Iaido practitioner. It features genuine Same (Rayskin) on the Tsuka, with a tightly-woven cotton Tsuka-Ito. The long tang is double-pegged for security. The fittings of the Practical Plus Iaito are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with dragon menuki, and the handsome Tsuba is of an iron "sunburst" design with a brass habaki.
Due to the Bo-Hi, there wil occur a tachikaze (whoosh sound) while practicing the right swing.
