This Bokken is the one training aid you need but don’t realise til you use it! The Ken-kaze is smooth, loud and just feels right when you cut. This will totally aid the ability to cut correctly whilst being quite lightweight means you can really practice without putting any strain on joints.
Fast delivery and great service as always.
I'm very happy with this iaito. My first iaito was a toryumon that I used until my 3rd. Dan. Now I'm starting a new step with this new iaito and it's great. The balance, the finished, the detail, they are outstanding.
Excelente cinturon. Color solicitado, con mi nombre escrito al katakana
Excellent experience from start to finish. The package arrived perfectly packed, neatly folded, and in impeccable condition. Everything matches exactly what I ordered.
The quality of the material is very good — you can notice it in the finishing and details. The uniform is comfortable, well-made, and suitable both for beginners and for more advanced practice.
Very satisfied with the purchase. I would definitely buy again.
My full custom iaito arrived back on April 1st after just over 13 months of waiting. It is absolutely gorgeous and I'm thankful Tozando worked with me on seeing this finally be delivered.
To be clear, a 13 month timeline is not normal at all, so if you're reading this, that should not happen to you.
I ordered it last February, it should have normally arrived around June, however there was a backlog and my iaito apparently had some defects and had to get remade. It didn't ship until September, it arrived in the US in a day... but because the all the tariffs took effect and there was no de minimis exemption it got stuck in Customs hell. There was allegedly an issue with the Customs forms (per UPS), but because it took more than 2 weeks to address it was then marked for disposal. (It's unclear to me if there was an issue because Tozando regularly ships iaito to the US and many iaito are valued over $800, so there shouldn't have been any Customs problems).
Once it was marked and because it never cleared customs, it wasn't going to be sent back. Tozando worked tirelessly to see if UPS could find the iaito even though it was to be disposed of. Eventually after a few months it was found, but because it was unclear if it would be found Tozando worked on remaking my iaito again. The og iaito was eventually shipped back to Tozando, which took a fair bit of time, UPS wasn't going to overnight it of course.
Eventually it got back to Tozando, who took pictures of it for me and Tozando gave me the option of waiting for the new one to be made so I could choose between them. I took that option, and Tozando even graciously included the kurigata reinforcement for me at no cost.
My iaito has been amazing to use and I could tell immediately it fit me better than another student's old iaito (which had a slightly smaller tsuka). My sensei and other students have agreed it's very beautiful and are happy I finally have it, they would constantly ask me if there was any update and on more than one occasion thought the other student's old iaito was mine lol. I had to tell them they would know when mine was in.
