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.

Perfect November 8, 2014 Reviewer: Jesse Bolatto from Durham, North Carolina United States   This Iaito is amazing.  No detail was overlooked.  Every single option I selected was crafted with beautiful perfection.  This is one of my favorite weapons and its not even sharp.

Amazing Quality August 1, 2014 Reviewer: Moaz Alandanusi from SAN ANTONIO, SAN ANTONIO United States   I just received my custom made sword today. I must say I'm very pleased with it. the sword it self and the scabbard are little scratch. But the whole katana make me forget all about the little scratch. Very very very recommended.

Awesome! Pay attention on every single detail! June 14, 2014 Reviewer: Cyril from Mississauga, Ontario Canada   I bought a custom-made iaito as well as some kendo stuff such as shinai, gi etc... This is my first time using tozando items and I would say that they are always looking for "perfect". I can see that every single part is well considerated. Not only that you won't see any mistake on every single part, but also they are taking care of your needs. Hand feels, balancing, outfit are totally beyond my expectation. And I'm very impressed the way they packed. It's not just a product, it is an arts! I will buy kendo bogu here later on for sure! Well done team of Tozando!! Was this review helpful to you?

Custom Iaito - Just received it June 3, 2014 Reviewer: Alexander from Niedersachsen Germany   After eleven years of practice I wanted to take the chance to own an Iaito I could truly call my own. I picked quite some fancy options and went all out on the possibilities and I have to say, I was just amazed when I held it in my hands for the first time. Just marvellous what the craftsmen at Tozando create considering the price. I would always order again and will recommend this. Made with pride in Japan, now used with pride in Germany!

Aesthetically beautiful, wonderful to wield! May 22, 2014 Reviewer: Anil Sahal from Holmfirth, West Yorkshire United Kingdom   I've yet to see an Iaito that I really liked the look of and always assumed they were just 'work-horse' tools until one progressed up to an expensive shinken. That was until I ordered a custom Iaito from Tozando. The choice of options is huge which means hours of pouring over them which is a pleasure and means you probably end up owning a unique sword. When it was delivered it turned out to be even more magnificent looking than I could've hoped for and its wonderfully balanced and a joy to use.  Highly recommended. Was this review helpful to you?
