The Performance Iaito Line: Designed for Real Practice
Our Performance Iaito Katana line is the result of years of study, testing, and refinement. Born from the prestigious Yarinohanzo katana range, these swords combine all the qualities needed for intensive, daily Iaido practice—without compromise.
Each model is crafted with:
- A steel blade optimized for training (non-sharpened)
- Expertly shaped bohi to enhance both weight and acoustics
- Lightweight construction for smooth, flowing movements
- Perfect balance and geometry for accurate technique execution
- Stunning Tachikaze (the “slicing” sound of a well-executed cut)
Designed to offer the feel of a real katana while remaining safe for solo practice, these Iaito are ideal for kata, kihon, and competition preparation.

Hand-Assembled with Detail and Precision
At Yarinohanzo, we believe that the small details are what make a great sword. Each Iaito is hand-assembled with:
- Alternating Hinerimaki tsukamaki for strength and stability
- Hishigami inserts for a tight, enduring wrap
- Carefully fitted koshirae (fittings) to ensure zero movement or rattle
- A selection of designs, sizes, and lengths to match your personal preferences
These features are not just aesthetic—they’re designed to provide maximum grip, control, and longevity, even under intense, repetitive use.
