Practical Pro Katana
Hanwei's Practical Pro Katana is constructed as an economical cutting sword for heavy targets, with an extended tsuka
and a thicker and longer blade. The blade is constructed from hand-forged high carbon steel and is differentially hardened
using a traditional claying method.
The Practical Pro Katana has a very fine polish. The tsuka is wrapped with synthetic black leather for its gripping
characteristics and is double-pegged for safety. The saya features a deep black lacquer finish with a black cotton sageo.
The Katana is stylized with a round kuruma tsuba, which represents the "Wheel of Dharma," symbolizing the Buddhist concept of
the Noble Eightfold Path.
