Product information "Practical pro Elite Katana"

By customer demand, the Practical Pro Elite Katana has an extended tsuka and a thicker and longer (29") blade. The blade is forged in high-carbon steel and is differentially tempered using a traditional claying method. The Practical Pro Elite has a fine polish compared to others in the practical series. The rayskin-covered tsuka is wrapped with sueded black leather for its gripping characteristics and is double-pegged for safety. The saya is finished in a deep black lacquer with a black Japanese cotton sageo. The fittings (koshirae) are finished in antiqued black iron. The katana features a round Kuruma tsuba, which represents the "Wheel of Dharma," symbolizing the Buddhist concept of the Noble Eightfold Path.

Elite Series: Incorporating a blend of the features of the Katanas in our popular Classic Series and those in our new Performance Series, the swords in our Elite Series embody a careful blend of form and function. As in the Classic Series, the swords have an upgraded standard of blade polish and other refinements in detail while changes in blade design have been introduced to enhance cutting performance.

This katana is very good, and is excellent for pros and begginers, if they are willing to pay up. It is incredibly long, yet is has very good speed and balance and actually feels a lot lighter than it is. I was surprised at how it handled when considering it's length. It cuts well, and overall performs like a true high-end katana. The only real minus i have, is that for the price I would like to see some higher quality menuki (they feel like cheap plastic), and also a Bo-hi would be nice ;)
