No License Needed, handmade using traditional methods

The latest out in the 'practical' range. The piece measures 40" overall.
Differs from practical katana in that it has an updated tsuba (guard), genuine rayskin handle wrap and uses an updated leather wrap (Tsuka-Ito) specially developed for its gripping qualities, new images to follow. Also features a superior polish producing a more prominent true hamon on the blade and can be dismantled like the more expensive traditional swords, stuninng.

Please bear in mind this sword is still in the practical series and while finsihed to a higher standard than any sword in it's price band, the blade is not as cosmetically flawless as the more expensive Chen swords.
