Iaido in Second Life

KTG KATANA "HAKUOU"

Check out this fantastic product video for the "HAKUOU" katana:

I purchased one of these myself recently, and I have to admit I’m kind of jealous, because it’s every bit as cool as the video suggests.

The build quality is excellent, and looks very much like a real katana.  I’m a little bummed because it has the popular Musashi tsuba, which is what I was going to put on my own next katana, but now I’m afraid of looking like a copycat, haha.

The animations are great, and if you are a fan of iaido, you’ll recognize the various moves instantly, and the noto is just beautiful.

All in all, it’s an excellent quality product, and well worth a look if you like iai.

    It is the essence of Bushido. This Katana is a masterpiece.
    It is all to easy for us all to think of C:SI as a game.
    Moves, and Counter moves.
    But what is our true being? what are your thoughts when sparring?
    Thinking without Thinking?
    These animaitions were taken from the Highest Living Master of Iaido.
    They are true and capture what it is that we strive to be.
    This Katana inspires me.
    Then I put on my Wave and I Am.
