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 Sword Maintenance Kit comes in a lightweight wooden storage box and includes all the essential tools needed for regular blade maintenance. The Uchiko powder ball contains fine polishing powder and is gently tapped along the blade to loosen old oil and surface impurities. The residue is then removed with the included soft microfiber cloth. Finally, apply a thin layer of clove oil to protect the blade against rust and corrosion. Regular maintenance helps prevent fingerprints, moisture damage, and other stains that can permanently affect the blade's finish. This maintenance kit is an essential accessory for collectors, Iaido practitioners, and sword enthusiasts alike. Clove Oil (Tsubaki or Clove Oil) The oil protects the blade from rust by forming a thin protective barrier against humidity and moisture in the air. As the protective film gradually evaporates over time, it is recommended to reapply the oil at least once a month. Uchiko Powder Ball The Uchiko powder ball contains fine polishing powder. By gently tapping both sides of the blade, it loosens old oil, fingerprints, and fine contaminants. When used together with the microfiber cloth, it helps restore a clean and polished blade surface. Microfiber Cloth The soft microfiber cloth is used to remove the Uchiko powder, oil residue, fingerprints, and other contaminants from the blade. It is also ideal for applying a thin, even coat of maintenance oil across the entire blade. Brass Mekugi Remover (Mekuginuki) The brass Mekuginuki is used to remove the bamboo retaining pins (Mekugi) from the sword handle, allowing the sword to be safely disassembled for maintenance. The brass hammer head can be unscrewed from the handle for use. Sword Maintenance InstructionsClean and maintain your sword after every use, whether it has been used for Iaido practice, Tameshigiri, or is simply displayed as part of your collection. 1. Remove Old Oil Use the microfiber cloth to wipe the blade thoroughly from the tip toward the handle, removing old oil and light surface contamination. 2. Apply Uchiko Powder Gently tap both sides of the blade with the Uchiko powder ball. The fine polishing powder helps lift old oil and dirt from the blade's surface. 3. Wipe the Blade Clean Carefully wipe away all Uchiko powder using the microfiber cloth. Repeat the process if necessary until the blade is completely clean. 4. Apply Fresh Oil Apply a small amount of clove oil to the microfiber cloth and spread it evenly over both sides of the blade, working from the tip toward the handle. Only a very thin protective film should remain on the blade. 5. Regular Maintenance Every 3–4 months, it is recommended to disassemble the sword and clean the tang (Nakago) in the same manner before applying a light coat of oil.
