Description

The Hanwei Practical battle ready katana features a differentially hardened T10 tool steel blade with excellent edge retention and a prominent hamon line. The 72cm blade is ground to a keen edge suitable for tatami omote cutting. Full-tang construction with a cotton ito wrapped tsuka over genuine ray skin ensures durability during intensive dojo sessions.

Precision at Full Speed
The T10 blade cuts through rolled tatami with zero resistance — the sound of a clean strike resonates through the dojo as the edge passes through without deflection. In your hands, the balanced weight between blade and tsuka creates fluid transitions from jodan to chudan, each kata flowing into the next with purpose.
Tool Steel Excellence
T10 tool steel is selected for its superior carbon content and edge-holding capability, then differentially hardened to create a hard cutting edge backed by a resilient spine. Each blade is hand-ground on traditional water stones, and the iron tsuba is cast in classical motifs that pay homage to the Muromachi period swordsmiths.

Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
