Description
The Practical Plus XL Light Katana from Hanwei provides a cutting sword that is economical while featuring traditional fittings and construction methods. Designed for quicker cuts in heavier targets, these katanas feature genuine Same (Rayskin) on the Tsuka, with a tightly-woven cotton Tsuka-Ito. The long tang is double-pegged for security. The fittings of the Practical Plus Katana are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with dragon menuki, and the handsome iron Tsuba features a “sunburst” design with a brass habaki.

Japanese swords has excellent service. I ordered on a Tuesday and it was here Friday. It came well packaged and in pristine condition. The katana is tight and appears very well crafted. Looking forward to getting to it asap.
