Newest iaito from Nosyudo

This one was a long time waiting. I ordered it in December of 2023 and I received it last week. Granted to be fair to Nosyudo, I customized everything on this iaito, including the sori, motohaba, motokasane, sakihaba, sakikasane, and the length of the kissaki. Because of that I also had to purchase the DX koshirae which also increased the wait time since all of the wooden components had to be carved specifically to the blade. It was absolutely worth the wait! This iaito is extremely lightweight (820g) and balanced very well. The navy blue ishime saya came out gorgeous and has a very nice taper to it. Not a single flaw in it! I can't recommend Nosyudo enough.

That's a really nice looking iaito, congratulation!
May I ask what style of this decorative Sageo tie is this? And great Sazanami Sageo you have there :D

It's a cho musubi knot. The ryuha I train in uses this knot for all of our swords.

Thanks! I just attempted to do the cho-musubi knot, man your Sageo must be really long!

You're welcome. I believe it's 220cm long
