Hanwei Practical Pro Katana SH2162

The Hanwei Practical Pro Katana is built for serious martial artists who demand durability, power, and authenticity in a full-sized cutting sword. This isn’t a wall hanger—it’s a purpose-built blade designed for tameshigiri and heavy training sessions. With a longer blade and extended tsuka, the Practical Pro offers superior leverage and cutting force without compromising control or balance.

At the core of this weapon is a 29.5-inch blade forged from 1566 high carbon steel. Known for its excellent edge retention and resilience under stress, this steel is well-suited for repeated use on traditional cutting targets. The forged finish gives the blade a work-ready appearance, reinforcing the idea that this katana is meant to be used, not just admired. With a full tang construction and a total length of 45.75 inches, it’s made to handle with authority.

The handle features genuine rayskin with a black synthetic leather-wrapped overlay, offering a secure, traditional-style grip that holds up under intense use. The longer tsuka allows for a wider grip, giving the user more power in the swing and better blade control during cuts. Gold-colored cast metal accents and a brass throat add contrast and traditional flair, while the blackened cast metal tsuba brings both function and a rugged aesthetic.

Weighing in at 3 pounds, this katana offers a heavier profile ideal for users looking to develop proper cutting mechanics and build strength. It comes with a black lacquered wooden scabbard wrapped in matching black synthetic leather, offering protection and a clean, cohesive look when carried or displayed.

The Hanwei Practical Pro Katana blends functionality, traditional styling, and cutting performance into a single training-ready package. Whether you're an advanced student of the sword or a practitioner refining your edge control, this blade is built to meet the demands of the dojo. Order it today from SMKW!
