Superior craftmanship all around, Tozando has earned a fan!

I am very impressed with this iato, having purchased a couple of "iato-like" swords from other overseas forges. The build quality is excellent in every detail, from the unblemished blade to the finely detailed fuchi and kashira, even the fit of the habaki is perfect. With the habahiro blade, it is very well balanced, and the fit of the saya is firm but very easy to unseat, particularly for the throw draw techniques taught in my ryu. While I did purchase "knockoff" blades to save money before I decided my ryu was right for me, I found that doing so has made me much more appreciative of true Japanese craftmanship. Even now I eagerly await the Full Custom Iato I ordered just today!
