Raptor Shobu Zukuri Katana - Cas Hanwei (SH2417)
This particular katana is based on a graceful shobu zukuri style. Shobu means "iris leaf" and this blade shows a very traditional lighter, more elegant style of shobu than our more robust Shobu Katana. The tsuka is wrapped with a black suede ito in katatemaki style (the so-called "battle wrap" or "one arm" style).
The black saya has a simple stone texture. The habaki displays an elegant rain pattern to add extra interest to the mounts.
The Raptor katana series have no hamon.
