Cheness Swords

Cheness Iaito Series

Our Iaitos are non-sharpened blades meant for iai and kendo kata practices. The steel blades are more durable than the standard aluminum alloy and heavier to feel. These swords more closely resemble the physics of a live steel katana with less dangers than a sharpened edge.

Cheness Deluxe Iaito
Deluxe Carbon Steel Iaito is constructed of through hardened 1045 carbon steel as with our Type 8. The Deluxe version also uses a new tsuka core with harder wood and channels carved in for the same skin to be seated in... Thereby resulting in a more oval feeling grip. This version also uses black colored same skin and a new upgraded brown ito that has less stretch and a better feeling wrap.


$199.99
Cheness "Junior" Iaito
This sword is made for those practitioners who are smaller in stature... Where a regular length iaito is simply too long to draw correctly. This is a slightly shorter version of our Delux iaito and is blunted on the cutting edge to reduce the chance of injuries during practice.


$159.99
Cheness Deluxe Iaito Wakizashi
This is a matching wakizashi iaito for our 27" Delux Iaito. 18" blade length and 6.5" tsuka length


$169.99
Cheness Stainless Steel Iaito
Our Type 9 Iaito is constructed of a heat treated stainless steel. (A well treated stainless steel blade with increased resiliency can be still very suitable in katana length. It is, in fact, harder on the tools and a more difficult material to work with.) It does not require the maintanence as a carbon steel blade would since it is resistant to staining and corrosion. The edge of this blade is blunted for iai kata practices. Cutting edge is smoothly finished so there is less of the dangers associated with using a live blade for kata. The assembly and tolerances are exactly the same as our regular blades. This blade is not made for cutting or striking.
