Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I own a few Hanwei pieces and this is my favorite by far.This katana is hefty, and made for some heavy cutting.Just out of the box you can tell this was hand forged.
+++Super heavy,very thick, long blade
+++Well balanced
+++Fantastic fittings, super tight, excellent fit in the saya
+++Best entry level Hanwei piece
---Very expensive, look around you can find some good deals on these pieces (just not at amazon lol).
---Fit in saya is perhaps a bit too tight for drawing practice (probably too heavy for that too)

Product Description:
The Practical Katanas have always been at the forefront of providing economical yet functional swords to the martial arts community. These latest Practicals combine the blade geometries and profiles of the Performance Series with the affordability of the Practical fittings. The blades in the cutting styles are forged from 1566 steel and differentially hardened in the traditional way producing an edge hardness of HRC60 and spine hardness of HRC40. The removeable handle is tightly wrapped in the tradtional style with imitation leather to provide a positive grip that will withstand years of tameshigiri practice.
Designed strictly for competitive cutting, the XL Katana blades incorporate the geometry, strength, weight and profile needed for successful cuts on substantial targets. Featuring differential heat treatment and a narrow edge angle, these wide blades will reward good technique with clean cuts and excellent durability.
