The Paul Chen Practical Katanas have always been at the forefront of providing economical yet functional swords to the martial arts community. These Practical Iaito combine the blade geometries and profiles of Performance Series Iaito with the affordability of our Practical fittings. The removeable handle is tightly wrapped in the traditional style with imitation leather to provide a positive grip that will withstand years of kata practice. See Hanwei models SH6000IGE and SH6000IGG for other Practical Iaito blade length options.
