Tori Iaito, www.katana-samurai-sword.com, Paul Chen, Cas Hanwei

The Tori Iaito is an all-new design from CAS/Hanwei that incorporates truly elegant furniture with the functionality of our performance series. The un-edged training blade is forged from stainless steel. The tempered blades are not only maintenance-free but more importantly provide the correct weight and balance needed for the rigors of repetitive drawing and sword motion practice. Each blade has a deeply cut groove (bo-hi) to provide audible feedback when swung properly. Featuring a flying crane tsuba, brown leather tsuka-ito over black same and a dark brown/black saya, the Tori is available in three folded steel cutting blade profiles and three Iaito blade lengths. This is undoubtedly one of the most elegant mounts ever crafted by CAS/Hanwei. This katana was designed and built specifically for martial artists.

@jazpyre no, the tori iaito is a stainless steel blade. the tori cutting blades (elite, xl, xl lite) are folded swedish powder steel with prominent hada and a real hamon, but cost 2-3 times more than this.

[jazpyre]

Is that hamon real?

How much!!! How is the balance?
