The Nami Katana Iaito is a refined training sword from the YariNoHanzo Superior Series, developed for martial artists who demand both authenticity and top-tier performance. This sword is designed specifically for Iaido, Kenjutsu, and traditional Koryu Bujutsu, offering exceptional balance and historical craftsmanship in a safe, unsharpened form.
Forged from 1095 high carbon steel using the Maru Kitae technique, the blade is not sharpened, making it ideal for kata, forms, and dojo training. The blade features a distinctive O-Kissaki (long tip), delivering a realistic feel in practice and helping practitioners develop precision in handling and posture. A lack of bohi gives the blade a solid weight, closely mimicking the feel of a real sword, perfect for improving technique and control.
This iaito has a full tang construction, secured with two mekugi (bamboo pins), ensuring long-lasting durability and safety in extended training sessions. The tsuka is wrapped with black silk tsukaito, using the traditional Hinerimaki style with hishigami inserts, over genuine Samegawa (ray skin), providing firm grip and structure.
The sword’s visual identity is defined by its Nami (wave)-themed fittings. The tsuba, fuchi, and kashira are inspired by antique koshirae preserved in Japanese collections, reflecting the wave motif—a symbol of strength, serenity, and resilience. This handcrafted detailing adds character and authenticity, making the Nami Iaito a piece of functional art.
The black lacquered saya includes premium features such as buffalo horn koiguchi, kurikata, and kojiri, chosen for their durability and elegance. Each iaito is supplied without sageo, offering practitioners the option to personalize their sword. A burgundy cotton bag is included for stylish and secure storage.
Every Nami Katana Iaito undergoes strict YariNoHanzo quality control, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned practitioner, this sword offers a superior training experience grounded in tradition and refined construction.
