Iaito Minosaka Tokusei Koshirae | 2.30 ~ 2.45 Shaku
Iaito Minosaka - Tokusei Koshirae (2.30 ~ 2.45 Shaku)
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Hamon: Suguha
Habaki: Special Habaki (Brass) | Seppa: Brass
Tsuba: Muji (iron) | Menuki: Tombo (dragonfly) | Fuchi/Kashira: Ryu (Dragon)
Tsukaito: Cotton, black
Sageo: Synthetic fiber, black
Saya: Kuroishime
The Iaito "Tokusei" is one of our basic models. Reasonably priced, well-balanced on the tsuba, with a simple finish, it is ideal for beginners. It also makes a fine choice for Aikidoists looking for a practical Iaito at a reasonable price.
This Tokusei is available in sizes from 2.30 shaku to 2.45 shaku (on some 2.30 Shaku blades, the groove may go up to the Habaki, see product pictures). The blade Hamon (pattern) is a classic Suguha (straight) Hamon. It features brass Habaki and brass Seppa, a Muji Tsuba, and classical Tombo (firefly) pattern Menuki. Tsukaito is made of traditional black Kakucho woven cotton, while the Sageo is made from black synthetic fibers.
Kuroishime (black with sanding effect), which is the strongest lacquer available (scratch resistant), is used for the Sayanuri (lacquer).
The blade is made of reinforced high-quality zinc/aluminum bubble-free alloy (duralumin). Note: Alloy blades do not cut and cannot be sharpened.
Just like the blade, all fitting parts are handmade in Japan and result in a 100% made-in-Japan product.
