The Japanese samurai were well-known for their sword techniques, many of whichincluded not only a katana, but also a smaller blade, the wakizashi. ThisSynthetic Shoto Sword allows for a practitioner to train in such techniqueswith ease and safety. Traditionally, the wakizashi is used in a method similarto the katana, serving as a shorter blade for use in situations when thekatana was otherwise too long or unwieldy to draw. This training toolaccurately replicates the traditional shoto, down even to the accurate twoshaku length (which is about 24 inches). The training sword has a short,curved blade like that of a katana, as well as a rounded guard and a stylizedhandle to echo the form and feel of a real Japanese sword hilt. Best of all,this training wakizashi is made entirely from polypropylene, which is asynthetic polymer that gives this training weapon more durability than itswooden contemporaries. Paired with our Synthetic Samurai Sword (MC-1802PP), itmakes for a fantastic daisho pair to train with and even on its own, thisSynthetic Shoto Sword allows for enthusiasts to practice the martial arts insafety.
