The Practical Pro Elite Katana from Hanwei has an extended tsuka and a thicker and longer 29” Performance Series blade with a finer polish when compared to others in the Practical series. Designed for multiple cuts in normal targets, the blade of the Practical Pro Elite Katana is forged in high-carbon steel.
The samegawa (rayskin) covered tsuka is wrapped with cotton ito and is double-pegged for safety. The saya is finished in a deep, black lacquer with a black Japanese cotton sageo. The katana features a Kuruma tsuba, which represents the “Wheel of Dharma,” symbolizing the Buddhist concept of the Noble Eightfold Path.
ABOUT THE HANWEI ELITE LINE
Elite Katana:
Frequent Cutting / Advanced Drawing Practice
Our 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.
