CAS Hanwei Practical Tanto
Code: PC2254Related products
Product detailed description
The growing popularity of Hanwei's practical swords, specifically the katana (SH1070), wakizashi (SH2061) and tanto (SH2254), brings enthusiasts the opportunity to own and use a quality Hanwei sword at an affordable price. These blades are forged and differentially hardened in the same manner as the more expensive models, providing blade hardness at HRC60 and spine hardness at HRC40. The authentic and distinctive temper line underlines the quality of workmanship. Cost-effectiveness is achieved by the use of metal components that, while not historically authentic, are constructed with an emphasis on strength to withstand the rigors of dojo training.
Please note: the sageo (cord) on the saya (sheath) of a katana, wakizashi or tanto may not be wrapped as shown in the photo. The color of the sageo may vary.
Made by Hanwei.
