WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Hi Paul, Just wanted to let you know that the iaito arrived this afternoon. Very nice! Cheness offers the most bang for the buck, by far.
Master Rick Fine (6th Dan, Chayon-Ryu), USA

Hey Paul, I recieved my Iaito last friday and I absolutely love it! My Sensei was very impressed with the Iaito, he just couldn't believe I found one of such quality for such a low price! I do believe a couple of other fellow students will be looking into the Cheness swords after handling mine for a few minutes. Thanks a lot
Chris Pharr, Lenexa KS, USA

Hi Paul, Took the Iaito to training last night and Shihan’s comment was, “very nice”. He examined the tsuka and then swung it around a bit and seemed pleased. During training one of the sensei’s was going through some things with me and he grabbed the tsuka, gave it a good rub and commented on how tight the wrap was…so he was also happy with it. Cheers Paul…pass on my compliments to the chef.

A NOTE FROM PAUL: When in doubt, ALWAYS check with your sensei..!
These iaito are widely in use at many dojo around the world, partly because of the value for money they represent, and partly because they WEIGH the same as a real Shinken. However, some dojo have much stricter requirements than others - some only allowing lightweight zinc-alloy blades that are imported from Japan, while others may only allow iaito that they themselves supply.

So to avoid wasting your money buying an iaito that you cannot train with, always check with your sensei!

Product - Cheness Non-sharpened Iaito

DO NOT let the low price tags on these iaito fool you!

These hand forged iaito training swords are of deceptively good quality, and have been approved for use by numerous dojos the world over (including but certainly not limited to the prestigious Muso Jikiden Eishin-Ryu Iai-Jutsu dojo in the USA). In fact, the most common remark made by Iaido and Kenjutsu practitioners is that the price tag does not do these iaito justice...!

Ideal for the iaido and kenjutsu practitioner on a budget, these are the most affordable dojo quality iaito available ANYWHERE!
