Practical Katana

The Practical Katana gives the martial artist the opportunity to own and use a beautiful, functional sword at the cost of an economy sword. The blade is forged and differentially tempered, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The temper line is authentic and prominent. Cost savings are effected by using fittings which, while making no claims to authenticity, are very strongly built to withstand the rigors of cutting exercises in the dojo.

Blade length 27-1/4" ¤ Handle Length 11-1/4"
Overall length 39-1/2" ¤ Weight 1lb., 13oz.
