My personal opinion top

Iaito - Paul Chen Nami Katana



A first class entry katana. Simple design but it has all that a good iaito need !



The Iaito line of swords have blunt blades, and are in no way intended for cutting exercises. They are intended for practicing the Japanese sword-drawing arts such as Iaido. This is an excellent entry-level sword - If you have a little more to spend, you may want to see the Gorin Iaito or the Tsuru Iiato also by Paul Chen.



The point of balance of these iaito is being set closer to the tsuba or guard than other real samurai swords or shinken because of the repetitions of certain exercises involved in the practicing of most of the Japanese sword drawing arts.



The Nami Katana is the basic model in the paul chen Iaito sword collection. It's a very nice deal for people who doens't care about a beautiful look and are looking for a durable sword.



This iaito is available in 4 different blade lengths. Please choose your length before ordering !

My Promise To You

Nothing leaves this place without checking

Nobody like to receive a katana or any other product with a quality problem. A loose tsuba, seppa, chip in the saya,or any other damage. So before I ship your order , I personally check the quality of the product. Only if it’s 110% ok I will ship it to you.

90 Days return policy

Placing an order online is a great thing but sometimes you feel disappointed when you receive it . Although I’m doing my very best to provide you with a lot of detailed pictures and videos where possible, I do understand your concern . So if you don’t feel comfortable with your purchase just return it. Contact me prior to returning your order. This policy does not apply on any personal made katana or customized katana.

No charging before shipping

In case you pay with visa or mastercard, your card won’t be charged automatically when placing your order. Only when I finished the quality check and the courrier confirmed the pick up of your order, your card will be billed.

    Living in the EU, I had to find a retailer within EU in order to avoid trouble with Customs authorities. I was lucky to find the Samurai Sword Shop, where Dave was as helpful as one can get.
  • Koch, Ernst  
    I've ordered the Practical Pro katana together with a double sword stand by Samurai Sword Shop.
    They seem to have nice people working there cos they treat you like friends. I made that up drom the mails they send me about my order. I'm sure I'll order my next katana by Samurai Sword Shop too.

Want to customize this sword ?

If this standard model is almost what you’re looking for but it need a few personal tweaks and a 100% custom katana is not an option or needed, I can always give this baby a little ‘facelift’.

Rewrapping the tsuka with the material and or color of your choice, changing fuchi & kashira , tsuba, menuki and or seppa are all possible.

A rewrap of a standard size tsuka (katana) will run around 125 euro, including cotton ito.
