Click to enlarge image(s)
  • Hanwei's Practical Katanas have always been at the forefront of providing economical yet functional swords to the martial arts community.
  • These latest Practicals combine the blade geometries and profiles of the Performance Series with the affordability of their Practical fittings.
  • The blades in the cutting styles are forged from 1566 steel and differentially hardened in the traditional way producing an edge hardness of HRC60 and spine hardness of HRC40.
  • The removeable handle is tightly wrapped in the tradtional style with imitation leather to provide a positive grip that will withstand years of tameshigiri practice.
  • Competitive Cutting & Lighter Weight, the XL Light blades feature the same geometry as those of the XL but incorporate deeply cut grooves (bo-hi) to reduce the weight of the blade while retaining most of it's strength and cutting ability.
  • This weight reduction makes for a quicker sword, well adapted for multiple cuts in lighter targets.
