The Tombo Katana Iaito is a top-tier training sword in the YariNoHanzo Superior Series, made for those who demand both exceptional functionality and refined beauty in their practice weapons. Designed for Iaido, Kenjutsu, and traditional Japanese sword arts, this unsharpened katana offers perfect handling characteristics for safe, precise dojo training.
Forged from 1095 high carbon steel using the Maru Kitae method, the blade is unsharpened to comply with modern training needs while maintaining an authentic feel. The presence of a bohi (groove) enhances balance and provides audible tachikaze feedback, allowing martial artists to hear the correctness of their swing during kata and forms.
This model is praised for its flawless weight distribution and structure. It features a full tang construction, reinforced with two mekugi (bamboo pins) to ensure maximum safety and stability in prolonged training.
The handle (tsuka) is wrapped in brown silk tsukaito, using the traditional Hineri Maki style, with hishigami inserted for structure retention. Beneath the tsukamaki is real Samegawa (ray skin), ensuring grip durability and traditional authenticity. The tsuka's ergonomic shape helps improve handling during extended sessions and formal waza.
What distinguishes the Tombo Iaito is its elegant koshirae, inspired by the Tombo (dragonfly)—a cultural symbol in Japan that represents victory, focus, and swiftness. The tsuba, fuchi, and kashira are adorned with a dragonfly motif, meticulously crafted to reflect both artistic value and spiritual heritage.
The black lacquered saya is crafted from quality hardwood, finished with real buffalo horn fittings on the koiguchi, kojiri, and kurikata to provide superior durability and elegance. The sword is supplied without sageo, so practitioners may mount it to match their dojo or ryu requirements. A burgundy cotton sword bag is included for safe transport and storage.
As with all YariNoHanzo products, the Tombo Katana Iaito undergoes strict quality inspection, ensuring balance, symmetry, and superior craftsmanship. Whether you’re a dedicated practitioner or an instructor, this iaito delivers performance, comfort, and cultural depth in one seamless package.
