Raptor Wakizashi
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.
Made by Hanwei.

Hab mir ein Raptor set gekauft für fast 1000€ (katana wakisashi und tanto) und ich muss sagen LASST DIE FINGER DAVON BILLIGSTER CHINA SCHROTT!!!! alle griffe gebrochen, tsuba locker, karton im griff eingeklebt und eine klinge hatte sogar einen RISS Nun zur größten Frchheit: seit fast einem halben Jahr versuche ich die schwerter umzutauschen und jetzt scheitert es an der nicht mehr vorhandenen Originalverpackung ein absoluter Witz an dem Kundenservice kann man nur lernen wie man es nicht machen sollte

I have this exact wakizashi, but have bought it from a different shop. Let's make one thing clear first, this is my personal opinion and experience. The sword is of good quality and the materials a quite good as well. However, the style of completely flat blade is very different from what you're usually using in test cutting and I really, really don't like this kind of blade. It is very hard for me to get used to it, and even harder to like it. I have bought United Cutlery Honshu Black Damascus Wakizashi [86597], and I must say I like that one much, much better. I prefer the weight, shape and design of Honshu more. Again, this is my personal experience. The blade itself is well made, good quality for price and it came very sharp.
