The blades are forged in 5160 high-carbon steel and specially  heat treated to produce very high resilience and greater tolerance of  misdirected cuts than a conventional differentially tempered blade. This  steel structure also avoids the need for excessive thickness, allowing  the blades to replicate the weight and handling characteristics of  Japanese originals. The edge geometry is configured to facilitate the  cutting of both soft and semi-hard materials without chipping, allowing  the cutter a wide choice of targets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Each katana in the series features a unique  blade style, each with its origins in Japanese swordmaking history,  providing the cutting practitioner with choices in both aesthetics and  handling characteristics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And the swords themselves (which are selling out FAST)..<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"44\" src=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/raptor-shinogi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/raptor-shinogi.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/raptor-shinogi-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/raptor-shinogi-250x28.jpg 250w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/raptor-shinogi-150x17.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\" class=\"has-text-color has-vivid-red-color\"> <strong>Raptor Shinogi Zukuri &#8211;
