The Practical Plus Katana provides a very economical cutting sword as dependable as the classic Practical Katana, but using more traditional fittings and construction methods. The sharp high-carbon steel blade is hand-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 griping 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. Approximate Overall Length: 40 1/2"Approximate Blade Length: 27"
