| Hanwei The Chinese Pudao (SH2072) |
Points: 14
|
The Chinese Pudao, originally an infantry weapon, has been adopted into the martial arts and its use in the hands of a skilled practitioner is spectacular. This weapon is also known as a horse-cutter sword, since it was used to slice the legs out from under a horse during battle. Our Pudao (SH2072) is a weapon to be coveted by infantry of old and modern martial artists alike. The high-carbon tempered steel blade has an agressive distal taper to promote quickness and balance and a long tang for strength, while the oak staff is tightly wrapped in a traditional pattern to optimize handling and adds to the distinctive appearance, as do the dragon-head bronzed steel blade collar and bell tassel. This weapon combines the best attributes of the sword and staff.

| Hanwei Dadao - Kungfu Big Sword (SH1012) |
Points: 7
|
Long the traditional weapon of China`s peasant armies, the Dadao, or big sword (SH1012), was used with deadly effect as late as the 1930`s in the Sino-Japanese War. Its single- or two-handed versatility, combined with the tremendous slashing power of its weight-forward blade made it the ideal close-quarters weapon. Although the originals had no scabbard, a simple carrying case is provided for protection and ease of transportation.

| Hanwei Ming Sword (SH2006) |
Points: 70
|
The pattern of the Ming Sword dates from the Ming Dynasty (1368 AD -- 1644 AD), which ruled China for almost three centuries after the fall of the Mongol controlled Yuan Dynasty. The beauty of this delightfully compact sword centers on its superb pattern-welded K120C blade, forged with a ridged central fuller providing the stiffness required for thrusting and the lightness required for speed. The grip is sculpted from brown buffalo horn, which is also used in thin, translucent wafers as a shell for the intricately decorated scabbard. The brass fittings are selectively decorated with dynastic designs plated in silver.
Recreated by the craftsmen of CAS Hanwei from the swords of the Lords of the great dynasties, these Chinese Gongfu swords represent the pinnacle of the sword maker's art, vividly illustrating the skills and creativity of the smiths of Imperial China.

| Han Sword (SH2005) |
Points: 80
|
The Han Sword is a cavalry pattern from the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), which reunited China and established boundaries very similar to those existing today. The rosewood grip and scabbard are inlaid with silver in an intricate scroll pattern, while the gilded steel guard, pommel and scabbard decorations feature the "crouching tiger" motif. The random pattern K120C Damascus blade, with its ridged central fuller and reinforced point is admirably suited for slashing cuts and powerful thrusts from horseback.

| Oxtail Saber (Niu Wei Dao) Dynasty Forge (DF025) |
Points: 25
|
The Oxtail Saber was used predominantly by martial artists rather than the military, making the design difficult to attribute to a specific time period. Nevertheless, the Oxtail Saber is the most popular and recognizable of the Chinese broadswords. The Dynasty Forge Oxtail Saber is forged from 1095/1085/1060 high-carbon steel. The sheath is hand-carved from hardwood while the handle features a hardwood core wrapped in green cord. The fittings are based on an antique specimen attributed to the Qing Dynasty and have a highly stylized floral motif.

| Sword Cold Steel Butterfly Sword (88BF) |
Points: 10
|
Traditional Chinese Butterfly Swords with wide blades made by Cold Steel. Typically, Butterfly Swords come in pairs that are cleverly nested together so they appear to be one sword not two. When they are drawn, they can be quickly separated and wielded in both hands to make wickedly effective chops, slashes and thrusts.

| Sword Cold Steel Chinese War Sword (88CWS) |
Points: 20

Few swords are more intimidating or more effective than the two handed Chinese War Sword. Its huge, wide blade will shear through armor as if it were butter, not to mention mere flesh and bones.

Points: 35
|
The Lion Gim is a civilian self-defense Wen Jian (Scholar�s Sword), with a little more panache than the practical versions (like our own Gim Sword) that were made for the battlefield. In our tests it severed and pierced 4" bamboo poles with a single cut or thrust.

| Shogun Ryū Tatsu Katana Windlass (501874) |
Points: 12
|
The blade is forged from 1095 high carbon steel and undergoes differential clay tempering using traditional techniques. This results in a spine with a Rockwell hardness of 45-48 HRC and a harder cutting edge at 56-58 HRC. This ancient tempering method creates the distinctive hamon, the visible temper line left when the clay is removed. Each blade is meticulously honed and must cleanly slice through a sheet of paper before leaving the workshop.
