A shoto, by Japanese definition, is a short sword between one and two shaku long (a shaku being equivalent to one foot). Even today, a shoto is still used in martial arts training, which is why we're providing a Red Oak Shoto Sword. Less an actual distinct type of blade and more a classification based on measurement, the any Japanese sword that measures over one foot and under two qualifies as a shoto; this one comes in the form of the typical wakizashi, the companion sword in a daisho set. Carved from a single piece of attractive red oak, this shoto sword is a sturdy, reliable training tool that will withstand the tests of use during some of the most intense of sparring and training practices. Beautiful in its utter simplicity and function, the Red Oak Shoto Sword will fulfill any role needed: simply elegant collector's piece or functioning piece of training equipment.
