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.
