CAS Hanwei Practical Tanto 7in. Blade Sword 53675

CAS Hanwei Practical Tanto 7in. Blade Sword 53675. The blades are hand forged high carbon ste3el and are differentially tempered using a traditional claying method to produce a HRC60 on the edge (ha) and a HRC40 on the back (mune) with a medium (chu) kissaki. The temper line (hamon) is authentic and prominent. The fittings (koshirae) are superbly antiqued adding to the aesthetics of the set. The saya is done in a deep black lacquer and the sageo is black Japanese cotton. The tsuka-ito is wrapped in synthetic leather with great gripping characteristics and imitation ray skin (same) is used. Cost savings are affected by using fittings which while making no claims to authenticity are very strongly built to withstand the rigors of cutting exercises (tameshigiri).
