The new Raptor serie katans, are a new line of cutting katanas and has been made and designed for the tameshigiri practitioner who does not necessarily have access to tatami but who wishes to practice and perfect his cutting technique.
The blades are forged in 5160 high-carbon steel and specially heat treated to produce very high resilience and greater tolerance of misdirected cuts than a conventional differentially tempered blade. The edge geometry is configured to facilitate the cutting of both soft and semi-hard materials without chipping, allowing the cutter a wide choice of targets.
