Review: Another beautiful sword - I had bought a sword from this company before and it was lovely. So I bought another and am very well pleased with its craftsmanship. Beautiful sword.
Review: Simple, elegant, useful. - As a beginner Iaido student, the weight of this blade is very useful for getting into the art. It allows me to learn technique without muscle strain. This is the second iaito I have purchased... the first was a full weight steel iaito, but after practicing my draws and returns for a few weeks, the full weight blade caused tendonitis in my right arm. This lightweight aluminum blade allows me to perform the same movements without the pain. I hope to be able to go back to the heavy steel blade when I'm healed up, but for now, this allows me to continue to practice. Also, it's comfortable to hold and beautiful to look at. Well worth the price for the Iaido or Kenjutsu student.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a nice training weapon
*by M***J on December 16, 2016*

This is a nice training weapon. I was rather skeptical when I placed my order with the thought that I would return it if it does not have the balance that it should have but I was pleasantly surprised. I do recommend it for a student on a budget.
