Treat yourself to the Raptor Katana 2, Shinogi Zukuri
Raptor katana, shinogi zukuri
When it comes to Japanese katanas, the shinogi-zukuri blade shape has established itself as the most common, combining speed with sharpness, much like the Raptor Shinogi katana offered here. These shinogi-zukuri blades feature a pronounced ridge line at the tip (yokote), and the earliest examples appeared toward the end of the Heian period (around 987 AD).
The Hanwei Raptor Series:
Under the leadership of sword master James Williams, the Raptor collection (bird of prey) was developed specifically for those who do not necessarily have access to a training center, but wish to be able to practice and perfect their blade handling technique.
Each blade is forged from 5160 carbon steel and undergoes a special heat treatment that provides a very high level of durability; strength is guaranteed, ensuring it can withstand heavy blows much better than a conventionally differentially hardened blade.
Furthermore, the structure of the steel used makes excessive blade thickness unnecessary, meaning the blades are identical to the Japanese originals in weight and handling. The cutting geometry is designed so that no burrs form when cutting both soft and semi-hard materials. This allows for a wide selection of target materials.
Each katana in the series has its own blade design rooted in the history of Japanese sword smithing. This means you can choose from the range based on both aesthetic and handling criteria.
Construction details of the Raptor series swords:
- Blades: 5160 carbon steel, forged. 57 HRC edge hardness achieved through marquenching.
