Designed as the perfect beginner's katana for cutting tests, many Iaidoka also like the look and the traditionally crafted blade of the John Lee Practical Katana, which is why we offer an extra blunt-edged version for safe training in the dojo. This means you no longer have to get used to a different blade model with different characteristics for cutting tests. The katana has a simple but elegant design. The strong blade has been coated with clay and differentially hardened in accordance with ancient traditions. The matt lacquered scabbard with black lacquer speckles rounds off the high-quality impression.
- Blunt Shinogi-Zukuri style blade without fillet (Bo-Hi), hand-forged from 1095 carbon steel.
