Created exclusively for Bu Jin® Design, this beautifully hand-wrought practice iaito will endure for generations. With a high-grade cast aluminum-zinc alloy blade from Japan and a copper-silver alloy habaki (blade collar), this custom iaito conforms to the authentic weight, balance and geometry of a live katana.

The hand-shaped magnolia wood hilt is covered with genuine stingray skin. The black ito (cord) and sagao (attaching cord) are hand-dyed cotton from Japan. Hilt fittings, grip ornaments and tsuba, with original dragon motif are hand-cast in sterling silver. Saya (scabbard) is hand-lacquered magnolia wood, and the koiguchi, kurigata and kojiri are each of hand-carved water buffalo horn.

Each iaito is stamped with a tiny Bu Jin® calligraphy impression in the habaki and comes with its own protective soft nylon sleeve. Available in Black only and in 28", 29" and 30" lengths (2.35, 2.43 and 2.51 shaku respectively). Please allow 8-12 weeks for delivery.
