Hanwei Practical Wakizashi Sword

Martial artists now have the opportunity to own and use a Hanwei sword at the cost of an economy sword, thanks to the ever-popular practical Katana (SH1070), Wakizashi (SH2061), and Tanto (SH2254) from Paul Chen. These blades are forged and differentially hardened, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The temper line is authentic and prominent.

Cost savings are achieved by using fittings that, while not claiming authenticity, are very strongly built by Hanwei to withstand the rigors of cutting exercises in the dojo. The Hanwei Practical Wakizashi Sword is a prime example of this approach, offering an affordable option without compromising on quality.

Specifications: - Blade length: 20 inches - Handle length: 6.5 inches - Overall length: 27.5 inches - Weight: 1 pound, 8 ounces - Point of balance: 4 inches - Width at guard: 1.11 inches - Width at tip: 0.7 inches - Thickness at guard: 0.24 inches - Thickness at tip: 0.17 inches - Sori: 0.5 inches

The differentially tempered high-carbon forged blade features an HRC60 edge and an HRC40 back, ensuring both durability and cutting performance. The synthetic handle materials provide a comfortable and secure grip, making the sword well-suited for training and cutting exercises.

With its overall length of 27.5 inches and a weight of 1 pound, 8 ounces, the Hanwei Practical Wakizashi Sword is a well-balanced and manageable option for martial artists. The 4-inch point of balance and the blade's dimensions, with a width of 1.11 inches at the guard and 0.7 inches at the tip, and a thickness of 0.24 inches at the guard and 0.17 inches at the tip, contribute to the sword's handling and performance.

The Hanwei Practical Wakizashi Sword is a fully functional, hand-forged carbon steel blade that has been differentially tempered, ensuring both durability and cutting performance. This affordable solution from Hanwei allows martial artists to own and use a high-quality sword without the hefty price tag of more expensive options.
