Akito, handforged & folded, Set

Real functional sword. Suitable not only for kata (forms of exercise) or Iaito (drawing exercises), but also for Temeshigiri (cut tests). In order to perform cut tests, it requires a very high quality, sharp and cut containing blade. The blade of the Akito is made of clay hardened 1045 carbon steel with real hamon (temper line).

The overall design is very robust, in order to avoid injury. Thus the blade is continuous almost to the end of the handle and is secured by two Mekugis. A beautifully lacquered wooden sheath with eye (Kurigata and Shito-Dome) is within the scope of supply.

Inclusive stand and kit.
