SH6009KPG -- Practical Pro Elite Katana
The Practical Pro Elite Katana has an extended tsuka and a thicker and longer (29”)
Performance Series blade with a finer polish when compared to others in the Practical series.
The blade is forged in high-carbon steel and differentially hardened using the traditional
claying method. The rayskin-covered tsuka is wrapped with cotton ito and is
double-pegged for safety.
The saya is finished in a deep black lacquer with a black Japanese cotton sageo.
The fittings (koshirae) are finished in antiqued black iron. The katana feature a round
Kuruma tsuba, which represents the “Wheel of Dharma,” symbolizing the Buddhist
concept of the Noble Eightfold Path.
