Shinai Fudoshin 39 | Kendo Shinai

A fantastic iaito, the weight seems perfect (in my opinion). It weighs a little more than the Tozando iaito my classmates use. They prefer the weight as well. The only con is the Ito on the shonai-maki is getting loose after 8 months, I found near the last three inches of the tsuka-maki there were split sections of samegawa rather than a full panel. I plan on seeing the quality of a custom katana from YNH in the future. I hope I don't get the same surprise. It is still a great Iaito!
