The Saya is wrapped at the mouth with blacklacquered rattan and then finished in a textured brown. This is the Tori XL Light model SH6007LFF. The Tori is available in three folded steel cutting blade profiles and three Iaito blade lengths. The XL is a bit longer than the Elite. There is also a Tori Tanto available. Please email if you are interested in one of the other models. Competitive Cutting with Lighter Weight - The XL Light blades feature the same geometry as those of the XL but incorporate deeply cut grooves (bo-hi) to reduce the weight of the blade while retaining most of it’s strength and cutting ability. This weight reduction makes for a quicker sword, well adapted for multiple cuts in lighter targets.
