This is a high quality Iaito that looks both understated and distinctive. The fittings are simple looking with only the gold plated bee Menuki that stands out. The dark gloss red saya looks great, while the black suede tsuka-ito wrapped in ganginaki is pretty unique.

Although the tsuka does feel thinner than the typical tsuka wrapping, I thought it felt just fine in hand (I do have smaller than average hand size). The suede tsuka-ito feel a lot grippier than regular leather or cotton (I haven’t tried silk yet, but I assume it’s not as grippy), so it feels like callouses could develop more easily with it. But I think more grip is generally a good thing.

The iaito feels nicely balanced and it feels great performing various katas with it. The koiguchi was a bit tight to start with, so I sanded the inside a tiny bit. Between that and practicing with it for just over a month, the tension between the Habaki and koiguchi is pretty good now. It requires an intentional push of the tsuba with the left thumb to draw but not too hard. There’s also a clear “click” when the habaki is fully seated.

All in all, I have really enjoyed using this iaito. It is of high quality construction and looks and feels great. If you like the Musashi stylings of this iaito, I think you’ll be happy with it.

Perfect. As it has been writed, you must choose a larger size than your own measures.

Durable, very good value'

Good, we'll see the durability

Nice.

Nice.

Very good choice, comfortable and light, ready to test the bio clean features.

Excellent quality; I have small hands, and the size S fit perfectly. They offer very good protection and molded to my hands quickly—they felt very comfortable after just one training session.

Shudo is the most protective men I have ever worn. I have gone through several different men over the years and with the Shudo, strikes that used to hurt, don't anymore. The extra padding on top makes a difference, even with my heavy handed training partners.

For my first Iaito, I muss say that the quality is amazing and well deserved for a five star.

Beautiful, shipped on time, fast delivery and as always excellent quality

On time and beautifully constructed as with all my previous purchases from Tozando

Productos de gran calidad, acabados perfectos. Los IAITOS son espectaculares. Una gran marca en cuanto a servicio, claridad en la descripción de los productos y su gran posibilidad de adaptarlos a tu gusto. El material se sirvió antes de la fecha esperada. EXCELENTE

They have a great selection of equipment at mostly reasonable prices, but I love that they navigate the annoyance of the customs duties for me, which is usually a bad surprise when ordering direct from Japan.

Luce muy bien, la madera es genial (White oak), venía muy bien embalado y llegó rapidísimo en la mitad del tiempo estimado, un 10 para tozando. Mi unica duda es: ¿si debo aplicar algún aceite para hidratar el bokuto o esta listo oara usarse? Ya que es la primera vez que compoo uno de roble blanco y vienen sin tratamiento, los de.roble rojo (red.oak ) ya vienen con un recubrimiento muy sutil y este no.
¿Me.podrian ayudar en esa duda personal de Tozando?, ppr favor.
Por lo demás soberbio producto 10 de 10
