Hanwei Moroha Zukuri Raptor Katana SH2413

The Hanwei Moroha Zukuri Raptor Katana stands out in the Raptor series for its distinctive double-edged blade design, drawn from one of the rarest traditional Japanese sword forms. Built for performance and durability, this katana is made for serious practitioners and collectors alike who appreciate both historical uniqueness and modern cutting ability.

The 26.5-inch blade is forged from 5160 high carbon steel, a material known for its toughness and shock resistance. Its satin finish gives it a clean, understated look while emphasizing the quality of the steel and the precision of the grind. The moroha zukuri geometry—a rare double-edged design—is capable of both slicing and thrusting with equal efficiency, making it a versatile weapon in the hands of a trained swordsman. Full tang construction ensures strength from tip to pommel, ready to handle rigorous cutting practice.

The handle is wrapped in traditional black cord over genuine rayskin, offering a time-tested grip that's both secure and comfortable during extended use. The tactile surface and tight wrap give excellent control in both dry handling and dynamic movement. Brass fittings provide a subtle contrast, while the blackened steel tsuba features a stylized raptor motif—symbolizing speed, precision, and deadly force. This visual theme ties into the Raptor series' philosophy: fast, efficient, and powerful blades.

At 38.75 inches overall and weighing 2 pounds, 5 ounces, the Moroha Zukuri Katana offers a fast, balanced feel with a slightly forward-weighted blade that delivers strong, clean cuts. It comes housed in a sleek black lacquered wooden scabbard, built to protect the edge and complement the katana’s refined aesthetic.

Combining historical design with battle-ready construction, the Hanwei Moroha Zukuri Raptor Katana is an exceptional blade for practitioners looking to expand their training with a unique and effective edge. Order it today from SMKW!
