PRACTICAL WAKIZASHI (SH2061) CAS HANWEI
The ever-popular Practical Wakizashi gives the martial artist the opportunity to own and use a Hanwei sword at the cost of an economy sword. The blades are forged and differentially hardened, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The Practical Wakizashi measure 27 1/2 inches overall and finds its point of balance 4 inches from the guard. 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.
The Practical Katana (SH1070) and Practical Tanto (SH2254) match the Practical Wakizashi and provide a useful and economical set. |
