The Tori katana combines truly elegant furniture and a powder-steel folded blade with the functionality of our Performance Series. The Tori features a Flying Crane themed Tsuba and Fuchi/Kashira while the Menuki are Kabuto or Japanese helmets. The high quality brown leather Tsuka-ito is wrapped over black Same. The Saya is wrapped at the mouth with black-lacquered rattan and then finished in a textured brown. The Tori is available in three folded steel cutting blade profiles and three Iaito blade lengths. Designed strictly for competitive cutting, the XL Katana blades incorporate the geometry, strength, weight and profile needed for successful cuts on substantial targets. Featuring differential heat treatment and a narrow edge angle, these wide blades will reward good technique with clean cuts and excellent durability.Features:- Folded Steel Blade - Premium fittings - Built for Martial Artists Specifications:- Overall length: 40 - Blade length: 28 - Handle length: 11- Weight: 2lb 11oz- Point of Balance: 5- Width at Guard: 1.44- Width at Tip: 1.12- Thickness at Guard: .24- Thickness at Tip: .13- Sori: 3/4
