Practical Series

For over two decades, the Hanwei Practical Katana Series still dominates the sword market as the go-to entry level katana. Since the beginning the Practicals allowed the aspiring practitioner to own a differentially tempered blade at an economically practical price to start tameshigiri. The original Practical Katana spawned many other swords of its kind which eventually led to the Performance Series of katana.

These entry level Practical Series swords are a great place to start your sword journey especially for those who can't practically acquire one of the higher end katana at this time. Everyone starts somewhere and here is a great place to start your katana journey.
