Hanwei Raptor Tanto – Nami Ryu Hira Zukuri Style

Hanwei's Raptor Tanto is from the Raptor Series of Katana, making it a must-have for anyone who desires a Raptor Series Daisho Set. Forged from 5160 high carbon spring steel, this material that contains chromium, silicon, and manganese is highly favored by many expert swordsmiths as it creates a blade that is highly resilient, flexible, and holds its edge incredibly well. For this reason, it is often used for performance cutting blades.

Made in the blade style of James Williams' personal Nami Ryu swords, this tanto is a piece that is designed for practitioners to perfect their techniques while serving as an impressive display piece. In line with the theme, the premium koshirae such as the fuchi and gold colored menuki depicts a raptor and raptor feathers. The tsuka is first covered with white same and wrapped with black tsuka ito. Like its peers, this tanto is sheathed in a black lacquered saya with black sageo.
