Hanwei Practical Plus XL pc6001lpf

The Practical Plus XL Light Katana from Hanwei provides a cutting sword that is economical while featuring traditional fittings and construction methods.  Designed for quicker cuts in heavier targets,  these katanas feature genuine same (rayskin) on the tsuka with a tightly-woven cotton tsuka-ito.  The long tang is double-pegged for security.  The fittings of the Practical Plus Katana are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with dragon menuki,  and the handsome iron tsuba features a "sunburst" design with a brass habaki.
