Practice Katana | Honshu – Polypropylene training sword with authentic Japanese design

This practice katana is a full-sized training sword constructed from durable polypropylene. Measuring 104.14cm in total length with a 77.15cm blade, it replicates the dimensions and balance of a traditional Japanese katana while weighing 0.635kg.

Construction and materials

The blade features a tanto profile with a coated finish in black. Made entirely from polypropylene, the sword combines structural integrity with safety for training applications. The textured handle provides secure grip during practice movements and forms.

Application and use

Designed for martial arts training, kata practice, and theatrical demonstrations. The polypropylene construction allows full-contact partner drills without injury risk. Suitable for dojo training, stage combat choreography, and display purposes where a safe alternative to steel is required.

Integration and compatibility

The Japanese origin design follows traditional katana proportions, making it compatible with standard sword display stands and carry cases. The plain-edge blade configuration maintains authentic appearance while eliminating cutting hazards.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The polypropylene material requires minimal maintenance – regular dusting suffices. The coated finish resists wear, moisture, and UV degradation. Unlike steel blades, no oiling or rust prevention needed, ensuring long-term durability for intensive training use.
