Quality Iaito March 30, 2011
Reviewer: Ianis Abtroun from Gentilly, Val-De-Marne France  
The balance of this Iaito is most excellent   , the weight is satisfactory since i was weary of a too light Iaito , here it's closer to a real blade's  feel   .

The  quality of the fittings is first rate , everything is tightly assembled  and sober ,  i'm really delighted to have purchased this Iaito  and can only advise people to do so as it exceeded my expectations  .
Thank you Tozando

Beautifully built July 11, 2010
Reviewer: Aaron Simpson from Victoria Australia  
This was my first iaito purchase.  Tozando's customer service was excellent, the iaito arrived well within the stated time of three weeks and they answered every question the same day.
The iaito is perfectly made and, to be honest absolutely beautiful. The saya, toshin, tsuka wrap and fittings are faultless and I am very happy with the quality.
The iaito feels weighty, and a little tip heavy which some may not prefer but I am very happy with my first iaito ! Thank you.
