Japanese Warring States Period Hosokawa Tadaoki Samurai Sword

Our handcrafted Iaito offers exceptional quality at a competitive price, with the option to choose between a sharpened or unsharpened blade. This Iaito is an ideal choice for martial artists seeking a traditional, finely crafted sword for practice.

The blade is made from high-quality 1060 carbon steel, hand-forged and polished to ensure the perfect balance and handling you need for Iaido and Kenjutsu. Unlike many alternatives that use zinc-aluminum alloy, our carbon steel blade delivers durability and strength, optimized for both training and performance.

Designed with precision, this Iaito features a traditional niku (curvature) on the blade, making it durable and effective for regular practice. If you’re just starting your journey, the unsharpened version is a perfect option to ensure safety during your training sessions.

The sword comes complete with a black matte hardwood saya (scabbard), silk-wrapped sageo and ito, alloy fittings, genuine rayskin (same’) on the handle, and a tightly wrapped tsuka (grip) for added comfort and security. Each sword is individually handmade, ensuring that every piece meets the highest standards, with slight variations in specifications for a unique touch.

Whether you are looking for a sharpened blade for advanced practice or an unsharpened one to begin your martial arts journey, this custom Iaito is designed to meet your needs.
