Product information "PSK XL Light Katana"

The PSK XL Light Katana returns with all the features that made it a great katana but with some great improvements.

Keeping with our promise for upgrades and advancement, the crisp and clean new look of the furniture (tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki) comes from the new tooling of this classic design that will remind you of the early originals. Still featuring the blade geometry of the differentially hardened and forged 1566 forge steel blade of the original.

The CAS Hanwei Performance Series is a standard in the Japanese sword market. Being the go-to cutting katana for practitioners, our newly updated Performance Series katana continue to out rank the competition within their niche in the sword world with their consistency and reliability of quality and cutting execution. Highly imitated but never truly replicated, you can purchase with confidence in the CAS Hanwei brand swords with our over four decades of knowledge and expertise in manufacturing.

The PSK XL Light Katana was designed for quick-draws and multiple cuts on lighter targets. Keeping the furniture of the Practical Katana and the low maintenance synthetic tsuka components, the blade keeps the XL blade geometry but has bo-hi (grooves) on both sides of the blades which lighten the blade. With reduced weight, you can make multiple cuts with less energy on the same target. The 1566 steel and differentially hardened in the traditional manner, producing an edge hardness of HRC60 and spine hardness of HRC40. Cut with speed and accuracy with the PSK XL Light Katana.

Made formerly at the legendary Hanwei forge that closed in 2024, the famed artisans of Dalian at the Dragon King forge take the mantle of this legendary brand. Former protégé of Paul Chen and original engineer of the manufacturing of the Hanwei brand, Frenchie Jin knows these swords better than anyone else as he was a part or their original conception at the original Hanwei Metal Factory. The CAS Hanwei brand couldn’t be in better manufacturing hands for the future.

Please note: the katana, wakizashi or tanto’s sageo (cord) on the saya (scabbard) may not be wrapped as pictured. Sageo color may vary.

Mit Sicherheit eins der besten Katana, die man zu dem Preis bekommen kann! Das Katana ist für Schnittübungen ausgelegt. Von daher wurde bei den "unwichtigen" Dingen etwas gespart: Die Rochenhaut ist nicht echt, das Leder ist ein Imitat usw. Die Klinge ist aber das absolute Prunktstück. Die Politur ist spitze für die Preisklasse. Die hanweitypisch durch Säure verstärkte Hamon ist echt und sehr gut sichtbar. Diese XL Light Variante hat eine äußerst weite Klinge (ca 37mm), die richtig brutal rüberkommt ;) Die Schärfe ist schon im Lieferzustand optimal. Man kann quasi gleich loslegen. Freue mich schon darauf im Sommer ein paar Matten zu teilen. Außerdem ein großes Lob an Swords and More für die fristgerechte Lieferung und perfekte Schutzverpackung!

Also ich muss auch sagen, dass dieses Schwert sein Geld echt wert ist. Ein bisschen skeptisch war ich wegen der Schärfe, aber der Papiertest hat mich dann überrascht. Sehr scharf!!! Ein gutes Katana zu einem guten Preis. Weiter so

Maintenance Kit

The maintainance kit has everything in it which you need for the must of care for your handmade sword. Comes with oil and powder. Oil is used to prevent the rust of the sword. Oil makes a film of the oil between the sword body and the air, and it prevents the oxidization of the sword body. Oil dries in about some time. Therefore, reprint it in the new oil once in a month. The thing which made a whetstone powder-shaped is being packed into the Uchiko. White powder appears from the Uchiko when a sword body is struck with the Uchiko. There are two use purposes. The Uchiko removes the old oil which sticks to the sword body. Furthermore, the Uchiko beautifies the surface of the sword. Nuguigami: The Nuguigami is not just regular paper, it is high quality thick japanese paper for cleaning swords. It is used for wiping out old oil and wiping out the Uchiko. The Mekuginuki is used to remove the Mekugi of the sword. The Mekuginuki can remove the Mekugi with the sharp part. In order to use the Mekuginuki for removing the Mekugi, the hammerhead part can be removed from the rest of the Mekuginuki. How to take care for your sword: How to take care of the sword after an Iaido practices or Tameshigiri will be explained with this topic. Take care of the sword after the practices always. If the care for the sword is neglected, a sword rusts in the sweat of the hand. Face an edge toward the top, and pull out a sword slowly from the sheath. Then, be careful not to damage a sheath. Hold the sword pulled out with your left hand. Then, remove old oil and dust from the sword with the Nuguigami. Put a Nuguigami on the Mune of the sword when wiping the sword, and wipe the sword toward the top from the bottom. Pat a sword body with the Uchiko. Powder equally on the both sides of the sword body. Then, wipe the white powder with the new Nuguigami which is different from the paper used some time ago. Repeat this handle, and remove the blurs of the oil completely. Apply new oil to the sword body, and put away a sword to the sheath. Put the oiling paper on the Mune of the sword when oiling the sword, and oil the sword toward the top from the bottom. Don't oil a sword in quantity very much. Oil equally the both sides of the sword body. If the care for the sword is finished, put a sword in the sword bag, and keep it. Keep a sword in the place where it dries in the shade. How to take care of the sword of this topic isn't perfect. Therefore, remove the hilt once in three months, and care for the tang (Nakago) and so on.
