The Practical Katana blades are popular for their quality and affordability. They are forged and differentially hardened, resulting in an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The katana features an authentic and prominent temper line. The iron fittings are strong and durable, perfect for cutting exercises in the dojo. The navy blue ito on the tsuka is tightly wrapped with hishigami, providing a comfortable grip. The iron tsuba and fuchi/kashira are durable, and the saya has a partially wrapped rattan and a black matte finish.
