| Practical Pro Elite Katana (SH6009KPG) |
Points: 30
|
The Practical Pro Elite Katana has an extended tsuka and a thicker and longer (29") Performance Series blade with a finer polish when compared to others in the Practical series. The blade is forged in high-carbon steel and differentially hardened using the traditional claying method. The rayskin-covered tsuka is wrapped with cotton ito and is double-pegged for safety. The saya is finished in a deep black lacquer with a black Japanese cotton sageo. The fittings (koshirae) are finished in antiqued black iron. The katana feature a round Kuruma tsuba, which represents the 'Wheel of Dharma', symbolizing the Buddhist concept of the Noble Eightfold Path.

| Hanwei Shinto Shinken Katana w Bohi (SH6004SGF) |
Points: 45
|
The Shinto Shinken Katana features a more traditional blade style than the other Performance Series models, specifically designed for a more frequent drawing practice, with a live sharp blade.
These live Iaito swords (Shinken) from Hanwei are made for the experienced Iaido practitioner who wishes to include light cutting (Tameshigiri) in his repertoire. The Shinken features optimized blade geometry, combining excellent balance with minimum weight for repetitive drawing, while retaining sufficient backbone for cutting light targets. The Shinto models have hand-forged high-carbon steel blades. Each blade is differentially hardened, to produce a distinctive hamon, and is grooved for balance and audible feedback in the cutting stroke. Sold Out
