Type: High-Grade Iaito (Practice Sword) Model: Shinogi-zukuri Nagasone Kotetsu Replica This sword is a replica of Kotetsu's style, featuring a gentle, undulating curve with a prominent hamon (temper line) and a blade that resembles a real sword. The fittings also reflect this quality. The hilt is primarily black, with buffalo horn used for the fuchi (collar) and kashira (pommel). The menuki (ornament), fuchi, habaki (blade collar), and shitodome (cord stopper) are all made of copper. The tsuba (handguard) is made of iron (with a Sanskrit character design), giving it the appearance of a swordsman's weapon. Furthermore, the shinogi-zukuri blade features a double hamon and a sharply pointed kissaki (tip), truly resembling Kotetsu's work. Such high-quality fittings are rare in replica swords. This sword is exceptionally well-balanced. Although it weighs approximately 1 kilogram without the scabbard, it doesn't feel overly heavy. It is suitable for Iaido (sword drawing) practice, but it is also a satisfying piece for display. Please take this opportunity to add it to your collection.
