The Cas Hanwei Tactical Katana features a 27 1/2" full-tang blade in S160 high-carbon spring steel, plasma-coated for corrosion protection and a checkered Kraton handle for a positive grip. The guard and the handle feature lanyard holes which, with the included ParaCord, provide a number of carrying options.
