| Shogun Tsuru Katana Windlass (501873) |
Points: 12
|
The blade is forged from 1095 high carbon steel and differentially clay-tempered using traditional techniques. This results in a spine with a Rockwell hardness of 45-48 HRC and a harder cutting edge at 56-58 HRC. This ancient tempering method creates the distinctive hamon, the visible line left when the clay is removed. Each blade is meticulously honed and must cleanly slice through a sheet of paper before leaving the workshop.

Points: 15
|
The blade is pattern-welded and heat-treated to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 40-45 HRC along most of its length, with approximately 35 HRC at the guard. A simulated hamon is meticulously applied by an artisan, and each blade is honed to razor sharpness—capable of cleanly slicing through a sheet of paper before leaving the workshop.

| Hanwei Shinto Shinken Katana w Bohi (SH6004SGF) |
Points: 45
|
The Shinto Shinken Katana features a more traditional blade style than the other Performance Series models, specifically designed for a more frequent drawing practice, with a live sharp blade.
These live Iaito swords (Shinken) from Hanwei are made for the experienced Iaido practitioner who wishes to include light cutting (Tameshigiri) in his repertoire. The Shinken features optimized blade geometry, combining excellent balance with minimum weight for repetitive drawing, while retaining sufficient backbone for cutting light targets. The Shinto models have hand-forged high-carbon steel blades. Each blade is differentially hardened, to produce a distinctive hamon, and is grooved for balance and audible feedback in the cutting stroke.
