Hey all,
I just wanted to post one of my first Iaitos I started training with. Obviousally it doesn't have an edge because it's not a Shinken. This darn thing has been through a lot. There are many nicks in the blades. Near the kissaki you can see one that needs to be filed down. I was practicing my cuts in the air at a friends Dojo, and he had a chain hanging down slightly from the cealing used for a heavy bag. WHAM! It shocked me at first, but I was proud that it didn't bend my sword Woot for me.
Also, there are some nicks from doing blade on blade Katachi
Tell me what you think. This was my beginner blade. http://www.synergy-industries.com/Iaito/
