Product Description

Our Practical Katanas have always been at the forefront of providing economical yet functional swords to the martial arts community. Designed for quicker cuts in heavier targets, these Practical XL Lights katanas combine the blade geometries and profiles of the Performance Series with the affordability of our Practical fittings. The blades in the cutting styles are forged from 1566 steel and differentially hardened in the traditional manner, producing an edge hardness of HRC60 and spine hardness of HRC40. The tsuka is tightly wrapped with imitation leather in the tradtional style to provide a positive grip that will withstand years of tameshigiri practice.

Our Customers Say

  • "I was surprised that you personally wrote an email regarding a delay due to quality control. I've spent more than several thousand dollars on bladed equipment, and I've never once received a letter letting me know when something would be late. You've made a favorable impression on me, and I just wanted to write to thank you for taking a personal interest in your customers."
    J. McNeal
  • "I 'm very pleased with my Jian! Our sifu said the the quality is comparable to a $250.00 priced product. Good materials, nice fit and finish. Was worth the wait. May be ordering the two handed version for our sifu in the near future. Best,"

  • "I'd like to thank you for everything you have done, you and your website has given me the best service from any store / online shop that i have ever purchased from. I even made a request and you had it, not just for me, but up on your site within days, I was floored. So I thank you again for your hardwork and assistance."
    D. Kunert
  • "The expedited shipping, maintainence kit, and the fact that you apply the low price guarantee on a item for all customers, not just the ones who contact you, speaks volumes about your committment to your customer base! In an age in which people are conditioned to have low expectations regarding customer service, it is refreshing to deal with a company that refuses to follow the trend."
    R. Pettiford

  • "Thanks just placed the order. Once I receive the sword I'm going to post a review on sword forum... and I'm going to mention you and your great service (and discount), hopefully it will help spotlight you and your online shop... as a regular forum reader there, I hadn't even heard of you before, which I think is a shame. Take care,"
