The “Practical
Plus” Katana is member of the Hanwei Samurai sword line, providing a very
economical cutting sword as dependable as the Practical Katana PC1070, but using
more traditional fittings and construction methods.
The blade is
forged and differentially tempered (HRC60 edge, HRC40 back) and the hamon is
prominent.
The Practical
Plus features genuine Same (Rayskin) on the Tsuka, with a wrap (Tsuka-Ito) specially
developed for its gripping qualities. The long tang is double-pegged for security.
The fittings
of the Practical Plus are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with dragon
menuki, and the handsome Tsuba is of an iron "sunburst" design with a brass
habaki.
A beautiful
companion piece to the Katana is the PC2118 Practical Wakizashi.
