    The Paul Chen / Hanwei Practical Plus Tanto (SH2259) provides a very economical cutting tanto, but uses more traditional fittings and construction methods. The blade is sharpened, hand-forged, high-carbon steel, differentially tempered using a traditional claying method (HRC 60 edge, HRC 40 spine) with a medium (chu) kissaki. The temper line (hamon) is evident and prominent. The Practical Plus Tanto uses a flat black saya and a black Japanese cotton sageo. The tsuka has genuine ray skin (same) and the tsuka-ito is black synthetic leather for better gripping qualities. The antiqued fittings on this set are decorated in a Japanese dogwood motif with a beautiful antiqued black sunburst tsuba. A great econimcal tanto with fantastic quality.

      I think this is an awesome value when you look at and feel the quality in your hands and balance that with the great price. VERY sharp and well appointed. The saya was a little loose but easily fixed with one small shim. It looks great next to my Practical XL katana.
