Hanwei Practical Mortuary Hilt Sword

Hanwei's Practical Mortuary Hilt sword was designed for the re-enactor and sparring enthusiast in mind. The blade has a blunt edge that is 1/16 thick and it stays with this thickness all the way to and around the tip. The blade is crafted from 1065 high carbon steel with a tempered hardness of 50 HRC – this hardness is a good compromise to be both hard enough to reduce edge-notching to acceptable levels whilst being flexible enough to keep the blade from being brittle. The guard and pommel are made of steel and the grip is overlaid with black leather. The scabbard is made of fiberglass with a steel throat and chape pieces.
