IN STOCK
The original Practical Katana – with some serious upgrades, addressing many of the issues previously complained about on the old ‘PK’.
With an improved performance series blade geometry, the Practical Katana is forged from 1566 steel and differentially hardened in the traditional way producing an edge hardness of HRC60 and spine hardness of HRC40. While the ‘classic’ series PK has an epoxied tsuka (handle) the Practical Elite Katana now has a removable handle, and even though the fittings are quite basic (synthetic suede wrap and imitation rayskin) it is a great base for customisation or can be simply used as is for years of kata or tameshigiri practice straight out of the box.
Frequent Cutting / Advanced Drawing Practice
These Katana Blades embody the classical design elements of the most prolific sword design in history. With their strong Shinogi Zukuri shape that accentuates the differential heat treatment, these blades are traditionally proportioned to appeal to the collector but they will also perform well in general cutting of hard or soft targets.
A great value for money piece whichever way you look at it.
