Paul Chen / Hanwei Practical Plus XL Katana SH6001XPF

The Practical Plus XL Katana provides a cutting sword that is economical while featuring traditional fittings and construction methods. Designed for maximum cutting power in heavy targets, these katana feature genuine Same (Rayskin) on the Tsuka, with a tightly-woven cotton Tsuka-Ito. The long tang is double-pegged for security. The fittings of the Practical Plus Katanas are decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with dragon menuki, and the handsome iron Tsuba features a "sunburst" design with a brass habaki.
