Practical Plus Iaito

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.
