Iaito have long been
the preferred training tools for safe practice of the many
Japanese sword drawing arts typically known as Iaido. While not
designed for sword-on-sword contact or actual test cutting, the
un-edged Iaito is perfectly weighted and balanced for its
designed task of safe and repetitive drawing practice.
