By customer demand, the Paul Chen Practical Pro Elite Katana Sword (SH6009KPG) 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 Paul Chen Practical Pro Elite has a fine polish compared to other Katana Swords in the Practical Series. The rayskin-covered tsuka is wrapped with cotton for durability 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 Practical Pro Elite Katana features a round Kuruma tsuba, which represents the Wheel of Dharma, symbolizing the Buddhist concept of the Noble Eightfold Path.
