Hanwei Practical XL Collector Katana - Carbon Steel 1566

Hanwei Practical XL Collector Katana

When it comes to equipping martial artists with inexpensive yet functional swords, Hanwei's Practical Katanas have always been among the best.

The blade of this samurai sword is forged from 1566 carbon steel and has been differentially hardened in the traditional style to produce a Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC on the back of the blade and 40 HRC on the hilt.

The removable handle is tightly wrapped in traditional style synthetic leather to create a good grip that will last for years of tameshigiri training.
