This tactical katana by Hanwei is a sophisticated looking sword with a full tang blade forged from 5160 high carbon spring steel. This material contains low amounts of chromium, silicon, and manganese to produce a blade that is resilient, flexible, and has excellent edge retention, making it ideal for performance cutting. The 5160 steel is highly favored by many expert swordsmiths in the industry. For this katana, the blade geometry is based on the Raptor series.
The checkered Kraton handle offers a secure and sturdy grip, a soft and moulded material that has excellent tensile strength and traction, no matter the season or situation. This katana comes sheathed in a fiberglass scabbard that reduces the overall weight of the carried sword and prevents water absorption. There are also several lanyard holes so the included ParaCord can be used for backpack or carrying options.
