Excellent Iaito January 21, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
I would first like to thank Tozando for the outstanding customer service; I had a few questions and they answered them within a couple days, providing useful information.

This is my very first iaito, but I can tell it is a work of quality. It just feels right in my hands and the balance is great; it will even reward your good cuts with a gratifying "woosh" sound when swung properly. It is, however, a relatively light blade which some people may dislike.

The notare pattern is gorgeous and looks like a wave coming in and out of the scabbard every time the sword is pulled in or out. The blade finish and fittings give it that extra touch of personality that makes you feel it was made for you.

If you can afford it, go with the silk tsuka; I personally find it is easier on the hands and is better at keeping a strong, firm grip.

In short: an amazing iaito for a beginner that should take me quite a long way through my training. I would recommend it to anyone.

Review Minosaka Iaito January 17, 2012
Reviewer: Gertjan from Netherlands  
This is my first iaito and I must say that i'm very happy with the quality of this iaito. I used it for the first time last week and it feels good and is nice and not too heavy.

Delivery service was perfect and I received the iaito within the mentioned delivery time. Hereby I want to thank Lisa for the excellent service and information!

The only thing that was not completely up to my expectation was the 'hamon'. I ordered 'Gunome' and in my opinion it is much too regular. it looks exactly the same over the whole elngth of the iaito. Maybe better pictures on the website would make things more clear.
