Hanwei (Paul Chen) Practical Plus Iaito

 

SH6001 Practical Plus Iaito

The Practical Plus Iaito provides an economical yet authentic sword for the Iaido practitioner. It features genuine Same (Rayskin) on the Tsuka, with a tightly-woven cotton Tsuka-Ito. The long tang is double-pegged for security. The fittings of the Practical Plus Iaito are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with dragon menuki, and the handsome Tsuba is of an iron “sunburst” design with a brass habaki. See models SH6001IGE and SH6001IGG for other Practical Plus Iaito blade length options.
