I got a little advice when I was taking a few iaido classes: Do not try swinging swords that are made for decoration only. They tend not to be made well, and you may get pieces flying across the room.

My sword is a bokutoh - a practice sword made of wood, all one piece (except the tsuba) - so that wasn't really a problem. I am so not ready for something with a sharp edge.

I have a good replica sword that I have practiced with. It's well balanced and I was impressed by the feel of it. However, I want to get one with a better hilt that can be used over and over without hurting my palms.

I too have wooden practice sword.

I too would love to get a well made replica of Hiro's sword.
