SH2073 -- Practical Plus Katana samurai sword

The Practical Plus Katana provides a very economical cutting sword as dependable
as the Practical Katana (SH1070), but using more traditional fittings and construction
methods. The blade is forged and differentially hardened in the traditional claying
method with a prominent hamon. The Practical Plus features genuine Same (Rayskin)
on the Tsuka, with a wrap (Tsuka-Ito) specially developed for its gripping qualities.

 

The long tang is double-pegged for security. The fittings of the Practical Plus are
decorated in a Japanese Dogwood motif with lion dog menuki, and the handsome
Tsuba is of an iron “sunburst” design with a brass habaki.
