FWIW: The mogitoh (replica sword) set used for kendo kata is called a "Kendo Kata Yo". It is also referred to informally as "ha biki" which loosely translates to something like "the edge has been removed. The term mogitoh is not well know outside of the iaido circle, and even then not all. Most Japanese native speakers will have no clue what you mean by a mogitoh, even kendo people.
