No. It is an unsharpened iaito (practice sword) for iaido, not a sharpened shinken and not for cutting.

Aluminum or stainless, and how heavy?

Aluminum is lighter and stainless is heavier. This stainless steel iaito is about 2.65 lb with its saya. Choose by feel — lighter suits beginners and long kata — and ask your instructor.

How do I choose the length?

Generally by height — see the guide on this page as a starting point, and follow your instructor or dojo.

What is it for, and the fittings?

For iaido / iai kata practice — drawing (nukitsuke) and re-sheathing (noto). It has a Bamboo tsuba, a black lacquered saya, and a black cotton handle wrap.
