Iaitō Murasame – Japanese Martial Arts – Training Sword

Product reference: IAITO-MURASAME
Category: Iaitō – Non-sharpened Training Swords – Traditional Budo Weapons

Overview
The Murasame Iaitō is a hand-forged training sword made of spring-grade stainless steel, designed specifically for intensive practice in iaido, kenjutsu, and battōdō. Named in tribute to Saitō Sanemori, a legendary figure of bushidō known for his loyalty and sword mastery, this sword reflects both tradition and precision.

The blade features a bohi ni tsure-hi (asymmetrical double groove), which not only reduces weight but also enhances the tachikaze—the sound produced when the cut is properly aligned—helping practitioners refine their technique. Its precise balance, extended tsuka, and traditional craftsmanship make it a trusted companion for rigorous dojo use.
