PAUL CHEN GORIN IAITO

The Gorin Iaito is a traditionally made training sword developed especially for the practice of Iaido.

The Gorin does not incorporate a sharpened edge, and can not be used for cutting.
The blade is made of steel making it stronger than most which are made from aluminium alloy. However it is still lighter than a traditional Katana. The blade has a full length Bo-Hi with a beautifull Hamon and a generous curve. Same is genuine ray skin with a black suede/leather Itto  and, black cotton Sageo. The Fuchi and Kashira are in a brushed design with the fittings, Habaki, Seppa and Shitodome done in silver. Saya is black and has been finished slightly matt though not fully Kuroishime. The Tsuka is double pegged for added security.
