As the high
end sword in the Practical line of sword, the Practical Plus Elite was
designed with tameshigiri in mind. When practitioners in the Japanese
martial arts world asked for a more affordable sword for specifically
suited for this purpose, this katana came as the answer from Hanwei.
The Elite version
of the practical line features a heavier blade that can withstand the
rigors of cutting practice. It also has a cotton Ito which makes it more
suitable for cutting practice.

cousins; however, you would be wrong! This katana is lively and its distal
taper makes a big difference in its effectiveness in cutting.

value for your money and will make a great addition to any collection.
