I purchased a custom iaito from the Swordstore that I really enjoy and use in my Japanese iaito class -- weighs 2.2 pounds (2.45 length), has custom fittings, silk wrapping, silk sageo, custom tsuba, and a nice saya. It also cost a lot more than this iaito.
I also study Kumdo and wanted a shorter (2.35 length) sword that costs less and would be more suitable for some of the Kumdo kata. I purchased this iaito from e-bogu and mine weighs 1.7 pounds and the blade itself is much nicer than I expected. The wrapping is cotton and is what I expected. The saya and sageo are a little lower grade, but what I expected. The fittings are not in the category of my custom iaito, but the blade appears very similar in quality and the overall quality is much better than the $250 swords I have seen other students use.
