Iaito lengths and Hamon selection

What is the right length for my Iaito?

Both a centreboard that is too short and one that is too long will hinder or prevent correct movements. We therefore recommend the following sword lengths as the maximum length.

Experience has shown that a size smaller is optimal for most people, as the table is designed for more advanced exercisers, for whom the pulling movement is slightly different than for less advanced users.

There is an extra column in the table for women. As the belt is traditionally worn higher on women than on men, it makes sense to use a different sword length.

The recommended measurement corresponds to the Japanese way of measuring. This means nagasa from munemachi (edge of the blade on the habaki) to the end of the tip.

In addition to our recommendation, there are also differences in the individual styles. That's why we always recommend asking your local sensei. As you can see, the optimum length can be a very individual issue. However, the table should help with orientation.

Body size Nagasa for men Nagasa for women Nagasa for novices
155 cm 2.35 Shaku (71.2cm) 2.25 Shaku (68.2cm) 1 small each
160 cm 2.40 Shaku (72.7cm) 2.30 Shaku (69.7cm) 1 small each

What do the Hamon names mean?

Brief explanation of the hamon variations you can choose from. Not all hamon are available for all swords. You can see the selection for the sword on the respective product page.

Suguha

A straight line. The most common pattern because the straight line goes well with the straightness of the samurai.

Notaries

Large waves. Another popular motif because the large waves create a very calm pattern.

Midare

A pattern with uneven, short waves and points.

Gunome

Relatively even short waves.

Doran

A more or less uneven pattern of larger waves and indentations.

Doran double line

The Doran pattern in a special version with two lines combined with each other. It looks much more sophisticated than the simple version. However, the realisation is also comparatively complex.

Product description:
A beautifully crafted Iaito with Tsurumaru Tsuba and Ishime Saya.

With a blade made of a zinc-aluminium alloy, as is usual with blunt training swords from Japan. A deep fuller (bo-hi) has been worked into the blade, which produces a clearly audible sound (tachikaze) when moved. Thanks to these characteristics, the blade has a moderate weight of only 770 grams at 2.45 Shaku despite its 7 mm blade thickness! This makes the sword excellent to wield, as it is of course also well balanced.

In addition to these outstanding features, this Iaito also offers extras that are normally only found on more expensive models.
Tsuka Ito and Sageo are in the colour iron blue. This is generally the most popular colour for Iaito, but can vary greatly. A prescribed colour code is used for this model, which results in the harmonious iron blue colouring that can be seen in the pictures.
The Hamon has a gunome design, which is also unusual for Iaito in this price range.

This Iaito is produced for us in co-operation with the oldest Iaito manufacturer in Japan, the inventors of this training sword, which is now the standard in Budo training worldwide.
We are very proud that we can offer you this great Iaito at a good price in Germany.

1 review for Iaito Tsurumaru mit Tetsukon Tsukaito 2.2 bis 2.45 Shaku

  1. Taulant -

    Ich habe vor kurzem das Schwert in Länge 2.45 Shaku bestellt.

    Die Griffwicklung und das Sageo in der Tetsukon Farbe, sehen sehr gut aus. Ebenso wie die Gunome Hamon.

    Das Schwert liegt gut in den Händen und die Lieferung war sehr schnell, trotz Lieferung ins Ausland! Zudem war alles gut und sicher verpackt.

    Verified purchase. More information
