Hanwei Paul Chen Practical Tanto

Hanwei Paul Chen Samurai Swords Practical Tanto

The Practical Series (SH1070 Katana, SH2061 Wakisashi, & SH2254 Tanto) represent our most popular set, offering excellent quality at a great price. 

The Practical Katana gives the martial artist the opportunity to own and use a Hanwei sword at the cost of an economy sword. The blade is forged and differentially tempered, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The temper line is authentic and prominent. Cost savings are effected by using fittings which, while making no claims to authenticity, are very strongly built to withstand the rigors of cutting exercises in the dojo.
