This is a fully original iaito (practice sword) purchased in November 2025 from Ikeda Bijutsu. It was purchased for 82,500 yen (tax included). Used for about a month. Used for iaido practice. No consultations were made. There is a scratch near the koiguchi (mouth of the scabbard). There is a scratch on the blade (see photo 12). There are some minor scratches that don't show up in the photos, but overall it is in good condition. Also, as it is new, there is no rust. [The following is] the product description from the store: This is a fully original iaito. It may be too heavy and difficult to handle for beginners. With the exception of the habaki (blade collar), all the fittings use modern fittings for real swords, and it is difficult to tell whether it is a real sword or a replica at a glance. This iaito is for high-ranking practitioners who feel that "existing iaito are too light and there is too much of a gap compared to when holding a real sword," or those who want "an iaito that is closer to a real sword because real swords are dangerous when giving instruction." You can think of it as an iaito with a blade that is comparable to a real sword, similar to what is often called a real sword mounting. Both the appearance and feel are just like a real sword, and although the price is set a little high for our store, we are confident that it outperforms any iaito in terms of cost performance, considering its quality as an iaito for high-ranking practitioners. We had the members of the iaido association to which the shop owner belongs monitor it, and almost everyone gave high praise for the quality of the sword itself and kindly pointed out that the price was too low. ■Specifications Fuchi and Kashira: Iron Higo design Menuki: Dragon design, openwork Tsuba: Higo Mokko design Saya (scabbard) lacquer: Kuro-ro (black glossy) Tsuka-maki (handle wrap): Brown cotton Hammon (blade pattern): Suguba (straight) Blade length: 2 shaku 3 sun Weight: 1055g without the scabbard (without hi - groove) Moto-haba (width at the base): 33.5mm Moto-kasane (thickness at the base): 9mm Saki-haba (width at the tip): 24.1mm Saki-kasane (thickness at the tip): 7mm (There may be slight individual differences) Sageo (cord): Cotton, Kakucho, Azuki color (can be changed to black, etc.) [End] This is a very fine item. The mounting is elegant, and the blade has a sense of stability. I felt a kind of flex in the blade of other store's items, but this one doesn't have that. It is a first-class iaito. Although there is some wear and tear, it is still an item that can be used for a long time. Please make good use of it. If it doesn't sell by 9:00 AM on December 21st, I plan to ask the store to buy it back.
