The NEW Practical Plus Katana (2073-GT) is the latest addition to the Hanwei Samurai sword line, providing a very economical cutting sword as dependable as the Practical Katana (1070-GT), but using more traditional fittings and construction methods. The high carbon blade is forged and differently tempered (HRC60 edge, HRC40 back) and the hamon is prominent. The Practical Plus features genuine Same (Ray Skin) on the handle, with a leather- ike wrap (Tsuka Ito) specially developed for its gripping qualities. The long tang is double pegged for security. The fittings of the Practical Plus are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with dragon menuki, and the handsome tsuba is of an iron "sunburst" design with a brass habaki.
It features: a slightly shorter blade and longer handle. A stylish tsuba is also a NEW plus and topped off with an intricate Kashira (end cap). The handle is double pinned and removable. The sword comes complete with sword bag.
