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. ## Features - Aluminum Alloy Iaito: Unsharpened iaido training sword — full tang, lightweight alloy blade with correct katana weight and balance for kata and kenjutsu practice.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Handmade Sword Unsharpened Iaido Iaito Katana Training Sword, Aluminium Alloy Blade, Full Tang, Brass Fittings, Black Scabbard - Katana Cleaning Kit - Maintenance Set with Sword Choji Oil - Care for Samurai Japanese Ninja Katanas Swords Knives - Birthday Gift for Men and Women - Stocking Stuffers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/15010821-hms-unsharpened-iaido-iaito-katana-training-sword-aluminium-alloy-blade](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/15010821-hms-unsharpened-iaido-iaito-katana-training-sword-aluminium-alloy-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
