Hanwei Raptor SeriesThe Raptor series, our new line of cutting katanas, has been designed for the cutting practitioner who does not necessarily have access to mats but who wishes to practice and perfect his cutting technique Hanwei Raptor Moroha Zukuri Katana SH2413Closeout Price!
Raptor Moroha Zukuri Katana Designed under the auspices of cutting master James Williams the Raptor series,our new line of cutting katanas, has been created for the cutting practitioner who does not necessarily have access to mats but who wishes to practice and perfect his cutting technique. The blades are forged in 5160 high-carbon steel and specially heat treated to produce very high resilience and greater tolerance of misdirected cuts than a conventional differentially tempered blade. This steel structure also avoids the need for excessive thickness, allowing the blades to replicate the weight and handling characteristics of Japanese originals. The edge geometry is configured to facilitate the cutting of both soft and semi-hard materials without chipping,allowing the cutter a wide choice of targets. Each katana in the series features a unique blade style, each with its origins in Japanese swordmaking history, providing the cutting practitioner with choices in both aesthetics and handling characteristics. Forged in the Kissaki Moro Ha Zukuri style, the blade design of the Moroha Zukuri Katana is based on a Tachi blade believed to have been forged around 800 AD by the smith Amakuni, though many similar blades have been produced in later Japanese history. The style is seen as a link between the old Ken straight swords and the curved Tachi (and later Katana). The style is unusual in having a back edge on the top half of the blade, with fullers starting where this edge finishes and continuing to the hilt. We have deliberately left this edge unsharpened for the benefit of Iaido practitioners used to working with more conventional blade styles. With a blade length of just 26-3/8”, this sword is very quick and is ideal for multiple cuts in light targets. Raptor Series Construction Details: Blade -Forged from 5160 high-carbon steel, marquenched to an edge hardness of 57HRc. Tang (Nakago) -Full length, double pegged. Ferrule (Habaki) -Brass Handle (Tsuka) -Wood core, genuine rayskin (Same), special non-stretch sueded wrap (Tsuka- ito) for firm grip and wear resistance. Raptor feathers hilt ornaments (Menuki). Guard (Tsuba) -Traditional blackened iron, Raptor motif. Fitting (Fuchi/Kashira) -Blackened steel, Raptor motif. Scabbard (Saya) -Wood, non-fingerprinting textured laquer finish. Made by Hanwei. 5160 Steel Specifications: Overall length: 38 3/4" Blade length: 26 3/8" Handle length: 11 1/8" Weight: 2lb 7oz Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece.

Each katana in the series features a unique blade style, each with its origins in Japanese swordmaking history, providing the cutting practitioner with choices in both aesthetics and handling characteristics. The Raptor Shinogi-Zukuri blade, which has evolved as the most common Japanese katana blade design, provides both speed and cutting power. Featuring a distinct yokote, such blades were originally produced after the Heian period, around 987 AD.

Hanwei Raptor Nanbokucho Katana SH2416Sale! Closeout!
Raptor Nanbokucho Katana Designed under the auspices of cutting master James Williams the Raptor series, our new line of cutting katanas, has been created for the cutting practitioner who does not necessarily have access to mats but who wishes to practice and perfect his cutting technique. The blades are forged in 5160 high-carbon steel and specially heat treated to produce very high resilience and greater tolerance of misdirected cuts than a conventional differentially tempered blade. This steel structure also avoids the need for excessive thickness, allowing the blades to replicate the weight and handling characteristics of Japanese originals.

Each katana in the series features a unique blade style, each with its origins in Japanese swordmaking history, providing the cutting practitioner with choices in both aesthetics and handling characteristics. The Nanbochuko period in Japanese history (the later part of the 14th. century) encompassed sixty years of internal conflict in Japan, which spawned a demand for more and bigger sword blades than ever produced previously. Blades became longer and wider, sometimes to extremes (the Odachi had its genesis in this period). Named for this period, the Nanbokucho Katana is impressively sized. With a blade length of 30”, a long kissaki and a weight of just under 3 lbs. it is designed for heavy targets. It is, however, surprisingly agile and nimble enough to master double cuts. Raptor Series Construction Details: Blade -Forged from 5160 high-carbon steel, marquenched to an edge hardness of 57HRc. Tang (Nakago) -Full length, double pegged. Ferrule (Habaki) -Brass Handle (Tsuka) -Wood core, genuine rayskin (Same), special non-stretch sueded wrap (Tsuka- ito) for firm grip and wear resistance. Raptor feathers hilt ornaments (Menuki). Guard (Tsuba) -Traditional blackened iron, Raptor motif. Fitting (Fuchi/Kashira) -Blackened steel, Raptor motif. Scabbard (Saya) -Wood, non-fingerprinting textured laquer finish.
