This katana is a step above the Practical Plus sword, and when you have it in your hands you’ll quickly learn why. For cutting exercises the XL Light has a heavier and safer feel. That feel doesn’t sacrifice balance though as the geometry of the blade is better. To put it simply when you have this sword in your hands it just feels right! This newer addition to the Practical line of Paul Chen swords isn’t just for tameshigiri. It will also work well for general sword practice, and make a great addition to any sword collection. The Practical XL Light Katana as a Collector’s Item The XL Light has a few unique features that make it more suitable as a collector’s sword than the other Practical Chen katanas. The bo-hi groove along the blade serves its purpose and lightens the sword; at the same time it adds beauty to the blade. The bronze menuki (ornaments) below the Ito (braid) also add extra flare to this sword. When you add the XL to your collection you’ll likely find that you can pass it without being captivated by its look. The Practical XL Light Katana as a Functional Sword The XL light is a battle ready katana. As such you’ll find it works well for almost any type of sword practice, and it will stand up to the rigors of tamashigiri as you progress in this Japanese art. If you’ve used another of the Practical katanas, what you quickly learn with the newer XL light in your hands is that it just feels right!
