 Practical Pro Elite Katana (実職刀)
The Practical Pro Elite Katana has an extended tsuka compared to the rest of
the Elite Series. The blade is forged in high-carbon steel and is differentially
tempered using a traditional claying method. The Practical Pro Elite has a fine
polish compared to others in the practical series. The rayskin-covered tsuka is
wrapped with sueded black leather for its gripping characteristics and is
double-pegged for safety. The saya is finished in a deep black lacquer with a
black Japanese cotton sageo. The fittings (koshirae) are finished in antiqued
black iron. The katana features a round Kuruma tsuba, which represents the
"Wheel of Dharma," symbolizing the Buddhist concept of the Noble Eightfold Path.
