Description: Katana Raptor - Shinogi Zukuri Katana Raptor - Shinogi Zukuri The Raptor Shinogi-Zukuri Katana Raptor blade, which has become the most common Japanese katana blade design, provides speed and cutting power. With a distinct yokote, these blades were originally produced in the late Heian period, around 987 AD. C. HanweiRaptor Series : Designed under the auspices of master cutter James Williams, the Raptor series has been created for the cutting practitioner who does not necessarily have access to cutting mats but wishes to practice and perfect their cutting technique. The blades are forged from 5160 high carbon steel and receive a special heat treatment to produce very high resilience and a higher tolerance to misdirected cuts than a conventional differentially hardened blade. This steel structure also avoids the need for excessive thickness, allowing the blades to reproduce the weight and handling characteristics of the Japanese originals. The edge geometry is configured to facilitate cutting soft and semi-hard materials without chipping, allowing the cutter a wide variety of targets. Each katana in the series features a unique blade style, each with its origins in Japanese sword-making history, giving the cutting practitioner options in both aesthetics and handling characteristics.
