Practical Elite Katana - 27"

£275.83

The Paul Chen Practical Katanas have always been at the forefront of providing economical yet functional swords to the martial arts cutting community. Designed for multiple cuts in normal targets, these Practical Elite Katana combine the blade geometries and profiles of the Performance Series with the affordability of our Practical fittings. The blades are forged at Hanwei in 1566 steel and differentially hardened in the traditional manner, producing an edge hardness of HRC60 and spine hardness of HRC40. The removable handle is tightly wrapped in the traditional style with imitation leather to provide a positive grip that will withstand years of kata or tameshigiri practice.

Please note: Our range of katana, wakizashi and tantō are all made by hand and will feature the minor imperfections relating to this method of manufacture. This process ensures each piece is as unique as their historical counterparts. The main focus of the Practical Range is the blade. The fittings, although well made, do not have the same attention to detail found on more expensive lines. The Ito (handle wrap) may have a different number and proximity of diamonds to those shown in the picture.

I don't usually like to give five stars for anything but after the experience I've had with the knight shop, I just have to. I've seen a lot of sites with fake reviews for katana so I was a little worried this might end badly. Going with the name Paul Chen which is trusted. It took longer than the five days to arrive. A couple of weeks. But when I opened it it was well worth it. Well made, all fittings tight and very sharp. Feels nice in your hand or just to look at. A beautiful sword. Only problem is I'm gonna have to buy more and more swords from here. (Posted on 13/07/2020)
