Well I bought this one year ago and I can say that this is the best carry bag you can get... that is if you dont mind looking like an assassin with a suspicious bag on your back hehe. Seriously said, this bag is robust, extremely well made and I'd practically say impervious to water (if you use some good mink oil or similar coating). This is not made of real leather, but it feel like it and seriously said, truly looks the part.
Personally I use it to carry 1 bokken, 2 wakkizachis and 1 tanto and it zips perfectly well. It also has a small pocket inside that could fit your cellphone or.. your tsuba... or ninja stars?
I rate this a perfect 5 stars. It looks extremely cool, is very robust, easy to carry but believe me about the assassin look, people will stare.. because face it or not, it looks like a carabine case.
On an aside, E-Bogu is about the best company to buy martial art supplies. I ordered from canada this bag with 2 bokkens and everything came perfectly well in order.

2 in a pinch |

Well, The bag has held up well to travel, and is great for an iaito and bokken without tsuba, but...
issue 1: It is only barely wide enough for 2 iaito with normal sized tsuba. To get them in, one must be high in the bag, the other lower and then the tsuba of the lower one presses on the says of the higher one. They are separated by a sheet of vinyl, but I have to really pull the zipper closed and I'm sure there is some pressure on the sayas.
Issue 2. The bottom is a hard disk with 2 little feet, but no real support. If the sword is at the edge, then the bottom will flop to one side. I fixed this buy putting a small cylinder of cardboard in the bottom to help it keep its shape.
In summary, it's fine for taking your iaito to the dojo, but maybe not for a road trip with 2 swords getting bumped together.

I received this bag for Christmas, and it fits my 2.5 Shaku with an extended handle just fine. Definitely recommend it.

Really good product with useful pockets in it.
It fits two iaito and an additional bokken without problems. Mine katana is 2.5 shaku long and sticks very well.

My Iaito is 2.7 shaku and sticks out of the bag! The quality is fantastic and this item will last for years...
