The Kamakiri Katana Iaito is a flagship training sword from the YariNoHanzo Superior Series, combining elegant traditional design with functional perfection for martial artists who demand both authenticity and quality. Designed specifically for Iaido, Kenjutsu, and classical Koryu Bujutsu, this iaito offers safe, balanced, and realistic handling for intense dojo practice.

Forged with 1095 high carbon steel using the Maru Kitae method, the blade is unsharpened, offering a safe alternative to live blades without compromising on realism. It features a carefully carved bohi (fuller) that improves balance and creates an audible tachikaze during swings—essential for developing precision in kata and form.

The blade features a traditional Chu-Kissaki tip for accurate technique practice and mimics the handling characteristics of a real sword. Its full tang construction is secured with two bamboo mekugi, ensuring stability and long-term durability.

The handle is wrapped in brown silk tsukaito, using the traditional Hinerimaki style with hishigami to maintain form and tightness over time. Beneath the wrap lies genuine Samegawa (ray skin) for grip integrity and traditional aesthetics.

The highlight of this katana is the unique Kamakiri (praying mantis) themed koshirae, a rare and refined design inspired by fittings preserved in Japanese museums. The tsuba, fuchi, kashira, and menuki are all adorned with Kamakiri motifs, symbolizing focus, strategy, and calm strength—virtues deeply respected in classical martial arts.

The black lacquered saya is finished with real buffalo horn fittings: koiguchi, kurikata, and kojiri, adding a touch of durability and elegance. Each sword is supplied without sageo, allowing practitioners to choose their preferred mount, and comes with an elegant burgundy cotton bag for transport and storage.

The Kamakiri Katana Iaito passes the strictest YariNoHanzo quality controls, offering martial artists an exceptional tool for dedicated training. Whether you're refining your movements or progressing in traditional Japanese swordsmanship, this iaito will serve you with precision, tradition, and style.
