Paul Chen Practical Katana. 39 1/2" overall. Sharpened 27" forged and differentially tempered high carbon steel blade. The blade is forged and differentially tempered, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The temper line is authentic and prominent. Cost savings are effected by using fittings which, while making no claims to authenticity, are very strongly built to withstand the rigors of cutting exercises in the dojo.
