Iaitos & Katanas - WKC Solingen

The Iaito blades from WKC Solingen are very high-quality Japanese samurai swords, distinguished by their quality, precision, and balance. I am particularly pleased to be able to offer you these unique and wonderful blades. WKC Solingen combines traditional craftsmanship with modern forging technology. The samurai swords are characterized by their authentic workmanship and the use of the best materials, and are also suitable as collector's items.

Only limited stock remains, as WKC-Solingen no longer manufactures new katanas.

The Yuga Katana with BoHi and without BoHi have been specially ground blunt for me so that they can be used as Iaito, e.g., in BattoJutsu, Iaito, Aikido, and many other martial arts.

The range also includes katanas from WKC Solingen. Please note that these can only be ordered with 3% discount if paid in advance. Payment via PAYPAL and KLARNA is NOT possible. Shipping is subject to proof of age (minimum 18 years). The katanas are absolutely suitable for cutting training (Tameshigiri) and have been tested by me personally.

ATTENTION: Measure from the edge of the habaki (blade ferrule) on the back of the blade to the tip of the sword and not from the tsuba (hand guard) to the tip of the sword! The habaki sits on the blade side of the tsuba. The size chart is based on the official recommendation of the German Iaido Association and is for information purposes only.
