【Unsharpened Turtle Katana Iaito】 An unsharpened aluminum alloy katana iaito for iaido practice and display, with forms work — nukitsuke and noto. The 28.3-inch blade has a fuller groove for an audible swing.
【Unsharpened, Safe for Practice】 The blade is unsharpened — a training iaito, not a sharpened live blade. Made for iai forms practice and controlled handling, its aluminum alloy construction gives a light, controllable feel for repeated kata.
【Turtle Tsuba & Rayskin Handle】 A turtle-motif tsuba; the wood handle is wrapped over genuine rayskin (samegawa) and black cotton ito with a menuki for a secure two-handed grip.
【Signed Full Tang & Specs】 Full tang signed by the swordsmith, with a mekugi peg. Blade 28.3", handle 10.8", 40.8" overall, about 1.95 lb with saya. Black piano-lacquered wooden saya, black cotton sageo.
【What's in the Box】 The katana iaito with its black lacquered saya, a protective sword bag, and a packaging tube. The display stand shown in the photos is for presentation only and is not included.
