Hanwei Practical Plus Tanto |
|
|
|
The Practical Plus Tanto (SH2259) provides a very economical cutting tanto, but uses more traditional fittings and construction methods. The blade is hand-forged high-carbon steel and differentially tempered using a traditional claying method (HRC 60 edge, HRC 40 spine) with a medium (chu) kissaki. The temper line (hamon) is evident and prominent. The Practical Plus Tanto uses a flat black saya and a black Japanese cotton sageo. The tsuka has genuine ray skin (same) and the tsuka-ito is black synthetic leather for better gripping qualities. The antiqued fittings on this set are decorated in a Japanese dogwood motif with a beautiful antiqued black sunburst tsuba. A great econimcal tanto with fantastic quality.

I like it very much, very sharp and good handling. |
Really nice Tanto with beautifull sharp blade.Also the thing i like is the handle (meaby is wrapped with synthetic leather,but it dosn't disturb me at all).Hamon for me its perfect.And one more thing about the blade, blade is not ''shiny'' more likely is ''dull'' and this simple fact just reminds me that is a practical weapon ,not a ''fancy tool''.So if you're looking for something practical with fair price,that's item for you. |
