Hanwei Practical Katana sword replica is a 28" blade made of 1060 high carbon steel, differentially hardened with an HRC 60 cutting edge (for excellent edge retention). Makes a wonderful and unique decoration yet is fully functional for Iaito (practice).
Important! Purchased as a form trainer sword this piece has been painstakingly and properly polished to a mirror finish on stopping leather. There is no secondary bevel as is tradition and every centimeter of it's length will shave hair. Traditional fittings. Iron starburst Tsuba, brass menuki decorative ornaments. Synthetic polymer Ito wrap is now leather battle wrap style that will never loosen.
Note.. This is not for chopping trees. It has been tested on hundreds of pool noodles to establish technique. It is more than capable of cutting 2l water bottles and traditional tatami mats.
