Premium Custom Daisho Set

Featuring the Akado Gekken Blade with Top Grade Fittings

A Tool for All of Your Training Needs

We designed the Akado Gekken Blade as a nearly universal training tool for Japanese swordsmanship. For kenshi (swordsmen) to practice kihon (basic movements) and kata (forms) they needed solid weight and correct balance. With a traditional saya our multipurpose swords are all ideal for iai/battou (drawing technique). In addition, with a wide edge, the Akado sword is suitable for combative fencing practice. All Akado Gekken Blades are 9260 spring steel and tempered to spring back to shape without taking a set and the blades have an edge that tapers from a maximum of 3mm down to ~2mm. The blades have a rounded tip with a large central hi (groove) to offset the weight from the thicker edge. For durability, the base of the blade is set directly against the seppa (spacers) and tsuba (hand guard) with no habaki (blade collar).
