Product description:
Very well made, sharp training sword for Iaido.
The sword has a sharp blade made of T10 steel, which has been differentially hardened. The hardness of the cutting edge is approx. 60 HRC and the blade is suitable for cutting exercises.
However, the sword was developed for kata training in the course of Iaido, or Iai-jutsu.
Particular emphasis was placed on the details, which are often unsuitable for training with modern swords:
- The grip is just as firm as with Japanese Iaito
- The handle length has been adapted to Japanese dimensions and corresponds to the standard at 25.8cm
- The saya is designed in the same way (shape and kurigata position) as Japanese training swords
- The sword is available with different blade lengths
The blade has been kept relatively light for good handling. The weight without saya, for example, is approx. 950 grams for 2.3 Shaku, approx. 1020 grams for 2.45 Shaku and approx. 1050 grams for 2.6 Shaku.
The tsuba motif is gan (雁), meaning wild geese. A popular motif for antique cutlasses and perfect for this beautiful, classic sword.

A really beautiful sword, kept simple and superbly crafted. The Tsuka Ito is wound bone-hard, absolutely nothing moves and that is of course great. Training with it is really fun because it is easy to wield. The saya is also beautifully slim and looks great. The blade is also an eye-catcher and very sharp. Many thanks for this mega sword and the kind advice in advance.

In my opinion, the Gan Ham Katana for Iaido is very well suited for the price and quality, even for daily training. It is very well made, fits well in the hand and is easy to handle. The T10 steel blade is very well made. This Iaido katana has been manufactured according to Japanese Iaido measurements and is therefore ideal for Iaido, lai-jutsu. With this Iaido Katana I immediately had a very good handling, which is very balanced and lies very well in the hand. I can recommend the Gan Ham Katana for Iaido training to any Iaido practitioner who wants a sharp blade.
