Tori
XL Light Katana (鳥居刀)

The Tori katana is an all-new design from CAS/Hanwei that incorporates truly
elegant furniture with the functionality of our performance series. The K120C
powder steel blade is differentially tempered using the traditional claying
method which produces a HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. This allows for superior edge
holding and cutting ability while allowing the blade to absorb the shock of a
blow. The hamon (temper line) and hada (folding pattern) are very prominent.
Featuring a flying crane tsuba, brown leather tsuka-ito over black same and a
dark brown/black saya, the Tori is available in three folded steel cutting blade
profiles and three Iaito blade lengths. This is undoubtedly one of the most
elegant mounts ever crafted by CAS/Hanwei. This katana was designed and built
specifically for martial artists.
