Raptor Blade - Katana 2 Shinogi Zukri
Raptor Blade - Katana 2 Shinogi Zukri
Manufacture ID: SH2414
The Raptor Shinogi-Zukuri blade, which has evolved as the most common Japanese katana blade design, provides both speed and cutting power. Featuring a distinct yokote, such blades were originally produced after the Heian period, around 987 AD.
The Raptor Series has been designed for the cutting practitioner who does not necessarily have access to mats but who wishes to practice and perfect his cutting technique. The blades are forged in 5160 high carbon steel and specially heat treated to produce very high resilience and greater tolerance of misdirected cuts than a conventional differentially tempered blade. The edge geometry is configured to facilitate the cutting of both soft and semi-hard materialswithout chipping, allowing the cutter a wide choice of targets.
Specifications:
- Overall length: 40.25"
- Blade length: 28"
- Handle length: 11"
- Weight: 2lb 9oz
- Steel: 5160 high-carbon steel
