Iaito
an iaito is a practice sword used in the j-panese martial art, iaido.
being very closely related to a shinken (true-sword) it has a proper tsuka, kosherea, saya and tsuba etc. the only real difference (appart from quality in most cases.) is that an iaito doesn’t have a sharp blade. the blade is usually made from a zinc alloy to stop it corroding and generally is of the same weight as a shinken.
remember that swords are not toys and they must be treated with respect and only within a dojo. there is no excuse for missusing a sword.
the iaidoka withdrew his iaito during a kata.
