Custom Iaito May 11, 2016 Reviewer: Victa Lau from Burnaby, B.C. Canada   Recently I had purchased a custom made iaito from Tozando which took around 4 months to be made. I was fine with the wait because I had a loaner Iaito to use. To my surprise Tozando also shipped the same day as the payment. Tozando shipped it super fast considering it was an international order. Once I got to the parcel, I opened it up with care. It was neatly wrapped with layers of cardboard and plastic bubbles. The packaging may not look like much, but it was well protected and carefully packaged. As I got to the core of the package, the most beautiful Iaito that I had ever seen was revealed. All the fittings were as requested. As you paid close attention to the Iaito, you'd notice aside from the details of the Iaito, but the carefulness and effort on how it was all put together. Eager as I was, I tested the sword for its balance. The balance of the blade was extremely well balanced. Well done Tozando. Thank you for the time and patience with me. This Iaito would last me a lifetime. Was this review helpful to you?

Perfect August 5, 2015 Reviewer: Dorian MOFFROID from Toulon, Var France   I recently received my first Iaito. The choices have been respected and perfectly matches my expectations.

Thank you so much Tozando. Was this review helpful to you?

Absolute Perfect! July 22, 2015 Reviewer: C. Walker from Springfield, Illinois United States   I needed to order a new iaito as the one I previously bought in Japan was much too long and created difficulties during my practice. I am so happy with this sword! The extra deep groove creates a very satisfying sound during a cut and it is a third of the weight of my previous sword. The seal is fantastic and with proper care I plan on enjoying this piece while practicing for a very long time. Hopefully I will be able to pass it to my son some day.

It feels AWESOME! April 21, 2015 Reviewer: Vahid Davoudi from Tehran, Iran   Yesterday, I finally received my first Japanese Iaito. Packaging was great and regarding my Iaito in one sentence I would like to say that when I hold this Iaito in my hand, “It feels AWESOME!”. I'm really satisfied with my Custom-made Iaito. There is a law against importing swords to Iran and it was like a dream to have a Japanese Iaito in my country, but according to the type of this blade and Tozando help I could receive my package from costume and my wish came true. I want to express my gratitude to all Tozando staffs who participated in making and sending my order, specially Shodo Sato-san that help and support me during this time.

Tozando custom sword - execellent quality! April 14, 2015 Reviewer: Flemming Madsen from Towson, MD United States   I just received my customized Tozando Iaito. This was my first Tozando sword (out of a handful of Iaitos bought over the last 25+ years) and I can say that this is by far the best vaue for money.  Execellent quality in all aspects!  every piece of it is cared for and the overall result is a first class iaito for a very reasonable price. I also love the many different ways you can truly customize your iaito - something which you can often only get with a very expensive custom Shinken.  I can't wait to get my new Wakizashi similarly outfitted!  I can warmly recommend Tozando - both for the quality of their products as well as for their great service.  They were very responsive and also pro-actively communicated me during the wait for the sword.

Very good quality iaito April 6, 2015 Reviewer: S W from Ontario, Canada   I have been using this iaito for my training for the past two months.  Absolutely love it. Well balanced, solidly built, and by far the best iaito I've used (and I've owned and used three other iaitos the past few years).  I have shinken hi on this beauty and from short distance, you would almost mistaken it as shinken (I also own a few shinkens that I can easily spot shinken from iaito from distance but this baby gives you the feeling as close to shinken as it can be!).  The only thing I thought it could improve (or maybe I got the "lemon") is that my tsuka is supposed to be 8.5 sun but it ended up to be 8.8 sun (i.e. 1.2 cm off).

Nicely balanced and beautiful iaito March 25, 2015 Reviewer: Ralf Zomer from Wormerveer, Noord Hollad Netherlands   i received my iaito 2 months ago and train with it sins than. i love the balance and the deep sound it makes. The quality of the sword is super for the price you pay, and in contrary of the review below i thing the saya is normal quality but you have to make a good sayabiki especially with a 2.55 long one else you destroy your saya (but that's a known fact of all saya's) The wrap on the tsuka is tight and nicely done and i love the black ray skin ! My sensai trained with it and was impressed of the quality and balance for a iaito in this price range ! Will train happily with it for the next few years. Thanx Tozando and special thanx to Chihiro from customer service for the fast response and good advice ! Was this review helpful to you?

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. January 22, 2015 Reviewer: Jason Carl from Sicklerville, NJ United States   "Perfect" is the only word to describe my new custom-made Tozando Iaito. I have purchased many cheaply-made Iaito from other sources & none are comparable to this one. The experiences with poorly made swords taught me how to appreciate quality as it relates to size, weight, balance, and even tight fittings.  The hamon is simply a work of art.  I will never purchase another sword from anywhere else. Tozando has made me a loyal sword customer for life.  It did take a few months to receive this sword in the U.S. but it was well worth waiting for.  I had some trouble with customs (particularly the Fish & Wildlife division) due to the same (or rayskin) on the handle.  There was an additional $25 fee to pay to UPS shipping but again... for the quality, I could not complain... it is a most perfect piece of art.
