Practical Wakizashi

The ever-popular Practical Wakizashi gives the martial artist the opportunity to own and use a Hanwei sword at the cost of an economy sword. Traditionally used at court when the Katana was not allowed and to take heads of the fallen enemy. Also, after the great Masashi, used in a deadly two-hand sword style that he brought into popularity. The high carbon steel forged blade is differentially hardened, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The temper line is authentic and prominent. Cost savings are effected by using fittings which, while making no claims to authenticity, are very strongly built to withstand the rigors of cutting exercises in the dojo.
