![]() ![]() In practice however, there are many reasons why you may not want this for a particular sword. In theory a sword with a POB of 0” is perfectly balanced. A number of 0” would balance exactly at the guard, while a negative number will have a POB in the hilt itself. It refers to the point on the blade where the sword achieves a perfect balance. stands for Point Of Balance, this is measured in inches from the hilt down the blade. Even just cutting in rain or wearing on the walk to your cutting location, the design choices put into this sword make it my go-to cutter. Overall a good, tough sword that really had some thought put into making it practical to use or carry around in a modern setting. Although to be fair, it’s not like it will ever get used in a real fighting situation, and it does greatly add to the ease of wearing the sword as it doesn’t get in the way as much. I also find the sword’s tsuba unsatisfactory, and it feels too small to be practical. While the damage is easily worked out, it’s safe to say a scabbard shouldn’t be doing this to its blade. Something with the scabbard seems to damage the Kissaki of the blade and has chipped or rolled a good seven or so small points on the tip of the sword. ![]() However, despite all the benefits, this sword is the first I’ve ever owned to roll its own edge while sheathing it. These features make the sword a great no-nonsense cutter and being loosely based off the Raptor series of sword, it’s sharp, and holds an edge well. A fiberglass sheath that resists water damage, monotempred 5160 HC steel, and paracord Saego stand-in that allows for mounting on a sling. The Tactical series from Hanwei offers some very good choices for hard-use beater swords, and they’re quite nice to look at as well.Ĭreated with the idea of modern use in mind, the tactical katana is more practical than hanwei’s actual practical series of katana. Absolutely amazed that I managed to get one of these, as they had been out of stock long before I got into swords. ![]()
