Iaitō

Iaitō (居合刀?, literally meaning mock or imitation sword) is the name given by practitioners of iaidō (居合道?) to mogitō (模擬刀?), an imitation katana (刀?) used for practicing some Japanese sword arts. A real or “live” Japanese sword is often called a shinken (真⁠剣?, lit., real sword). This is said to be the best sword when it comes to the usage of Iaidō and channeling chakra. iaitō are made of an titanium-zinc alloy which is heavier than steel or iron. This use of alloy and a sharp edge makes this blade a perfect killing machine. As such, iaitō is intended as a killing weapons and are not suited for any type of contact. As even with a slightest touch it will tear flesh and fracture bones.This sword was passed to Ryu Namikaze.
