Hanwei Paul Chen Gorin iaito katana & Gorin iaito wakizashi.
SAVE £90.00 RRP £300
Iaito have long been the preferred training tools for the safe practice of the many Japanese sword-drawing arts known as Iaido. While not designed for sword on sword contact or test cutting, the un-edged Iaito is perfectly weighted and balanced for its designed task of safe repetitive drawing practice.

The Gorin Iaito are a breakthrough in design and functionality.

Made of a special stainless steel, the blades are much more durable than Iaito blades made from aluminium alloy, with a “live” feel and much superior rigidity. Through a special tempering process, these iaito blades eliminate the brittle behaviour sometimes associated with stainless steel, while retaining its low maintenance and rust-resistant qualities.

These very affordable Iaito are the ideal training tools for safely practicing this ancient art.
