The Practical Plus Elite is the upgraded and vastly improved version of the classic Practical Plus Katana which has seriously addressed all the noted issues seen in the original version it is based upon.
With a much better balanced and sharper blade, optimised with a new geometry to enhance its cutting performance, the Elite also features a level of polish previously unseen on a Katana at this price point.
Differentially tempered (HRC60 edge, HRC40 back) the acid etched milky white hamon is extremely prominent.
The Practical Plus Elite features genuine high quality Same (Rayskin) on the Tsuka, with a tightly-woven cotton wrap (Tsuka-Ito) replacing the older synthetic leather that many (including myself) used to gripe about.
The long nagako tang is double-pegged for security. The fittings of the Practical Plus Elite are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with dragon menuki, and the handsome Tsuba is the instantly recognizable iron “sunburst” design with a brass habaki. A perfect combination of form and function and a huge step up for the PPK.
It is indeed, everything the original PPK should have been (and more)...
