New & Improved
CAS Iberia proudly announced our revived Tactical Series Katana, Wakizashi and Tanto received some much needed upgrades. Our new versions features have been upgraded from Kraton to diamond-checkered G10 slabs that are now removeable. This allows for disassembly for proper blade cleaning and maintenance. Our removeable handle slabs allow for replacements and future planned upgrades. The stainless steel tsuba (guard) and kurikata are now matte black. The handle has been more rounded for a comfortable grip, and the new diamond pattern grip allows for a more secure handling in wet conditions.
As far as blade geometry, we’ve remained faithful to the original on keeping its previous design influences the same. Our overall goal was making the Tactical Series highly functional and more tactical by removing unnecessary parts and features. Other previously unseen modifications have been made to the tang and the habaki construction to allow for the handle removal but were necessary for this function. Our intention is to expand the options available for customization and upgrades in the future for Tactical Series to allow for development and change for these beloved blades.
The Tactical Katana combines high-performance blade geometry, optimized for heavy cutting, with full tang construction for maximum strength and durability. The 5160 high-carbon spring steel blade is sharp as ever and the checkered G10 handle provides a sure foul-weather grip. The fiberglass scabbard construction avoids water absorption and reduces carrying weight, while a lanyard hole and the included ParaCord provide carrying and backpack attachment options.
