Hi Kenneth, thank you for your comments. You'll find all the informations about payment on our dedicated page on the website: www.seidoshop.com/pages/payment-methods
I have been looking at your higo koshirae. The iaito you are presently selling as has a completely (looks and weight) different tsuba. There may be other changes I’m not aware of. Anyway, perhaps time to update your video?
What puzzles me are the seppa colour in the photos. I'm I looking at silver or copper, because both looks black (I think). Is the copper seppa black and glossy as in reflective?
Est ce que ceux Aito sont ils fiables pour la pratique de Ken jutsu.Pour la coupe ainsi que les Kata ? ,la flexibilité de la LAME ,la dureté du métal. Merci
Les Iaito ne sont pas conçus pour le contact. Certains enseignant utilisent les lames lourdes, plus solides, mais l'atelier ne peut pas prendre de responsabilité pour ce type d'utilisation.
@@thefirewolf4856 most sharpened katanas are illegal in both Japan and the United States, though you could get a steel one registered as a piece of art, though I wouldn’t recommend that as with no training you would probably cut your fingers off.
@@kostaspivoriunas9140 I'm not sure what you mean. You mean kenjutsu kata training ? Because usually for that they use bokken, and at higher levels they may just use a steel iaito or just an unsharpened katana.
It's possible, on request only, prices start around 6~7000 USD for blade + mounting. You can email us through our contact form for more information. But please be aware that a real Katana has very few in common with an Iaito from the manufacturing perspective. It would recommend this video for more details on why Iaito are "so cheap" in comparison to Katana: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-137PcYcs0VM.html
Hi Allan, Yes it is, but you need to make sure you have an official licence with a government recognized organisation. Customs will ask for "intend of use" and proof of your answer. If you do practice Iaido, Kenjutsu, Kendo, Aikido or any other martial art for which it is legit to own an Iaito, then no problem. You'll just have to send a copy of your registration, and that's it. If it's for any other purpose, then you'll need to contact customs before placing your order and get the authorization to import it. We can't really help with that though.
Tozando. Through them you can submit a request to a real traditional swordsmith. Go to their webiste (tozandoshop.com) and go to "shinsakuto katana". It's quite expensive though, prices start at 7500 USD.
