Hanwei raptor katana sword

If you are looking for a premium quality Katana sword, the Raptor series has been designed with the cutting practitioner in mind who wishes to perfect their technique without needing access to a mat, but who does not want to compromise on the quality or authenticity of their tools.

The HN-SH2414 Hanwei Raptor Katana Sword is forged from heat-treated 5160 carbon steel to produce a very strong steel structure that is forgiving of misdirected cuts. This structure also avoids the need for excessive thickness, allowing the blades to be very similar in weight and handling characteristics to the Japanese originals.

The sword's edge geometry is configured to facilitate cutting through soft and semi-hard materials without skipping, allowing the cutter a wide variety of targeting options. Additionally, each Katana in the series features a unique blade style, with origins in the history of Japanese swordsmanship, offering the cutting practitioner options in aesthetics and handling characteristics.

- Blades: forged from 5160 carbon steel, with an edge hardness of 57 HRC.
