PRACTICAL TANTO (SH2254) CAS HANWEI
The CAS Hanwei Practical Tanto features a sharpened, tempered high carbon steel blade with prominent hamon temper line. The grip is covered in imitation ray skin, and the matching wood scabbard features a deep black lacquer.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 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 Tanto measures 12 inches overall with a 7 inch blade and weighs in a 5 ounces. A most practical and beautiful addition to the Practical set.
The Practical Katana (SH1070) and Practical Wakizashi (SH2061) match the Practical Tanto and provide a useful and economical set. |
