    If you are a student of iaido then you should contact the Iaido Association of Ireland who will I'm sure advise you on where to buy the most suitable katana for your practice.

    AFAIK you need documentation from your club to buy an edged sword and those I know went through their clubs.

    Hi Joe

    Unless you are willing to shop online or are a member of an association that buys them direct then I think you are going to be out of luck .

    As far as I know ( and I am very open to correction ) you can not buy a proper cutting blade retail in Ireland .

    If you do go online the Paul Chen practical series is a good start as it will not break the bank but is of a good quality construction for Tamashigiri ( cutting practise ). Apologies if you are not just starting out and this is old news to you , no offense intended .


    Best bet is to ask your instructor and he / she should be able to advise you better .

    Regards,

    Darren

    There are no Irish makers or manufacturers of Japanese swords. Just out of interest, why must it be of Irish origin? Anyway, check out Bugei. Those guys have the most affordable, practical swords going. Realistically, if you want to practice cutting there is no alternative.
