Points: 18

The blade is forged and differentially tempered, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The temper line is authentic and prominent. Cost savings are effected by using fittings which, while making no claims to authenticity, are very strongly built to withstand the rigors of cutting exercises in the dojo.

Hanwei Praying Mantis Katana (SH2359) |
Points: 55
|
The Praying Mantis is a symbol of cunning and power in Japanese culture and is consequently a highly respected theme in Samurai swords. Built on our new L6/Bainite blade (detailed below) in the Shobu Zukuri style with Bo-Hi, and featuring superb koshirae, the Praying Mantis is a very desirable and functional piece. The subdued green silk ito and deep brown of the lacquered saya provide handsome contrast to the dark copper and golden accents of the tsuba, fuchi and kashira. The stalking mantis lies in wait for his next prey, mirroring the power and grace in this exceptional katana. Sold Out

Hanwei Qi Jian (SH2295) |
Points: 40
|
From the master swordsmiths of the Hanwei forge comes the Qi Jian, a re-creation of an ancient design that utilized one-piece forging. The entire sword, from pommel to tip, has been forged from a single billet of steel. This forging technique provides unparalleled strength and balance while exhibiting a clear, bell-like tone when lightly struck.
The sword's name originates with the Qi nation, one of the many warring states that eventually formed modern China. Legend has it that Feng-Xuan, one of the Qi people and a central character in a well known folk tale, possessed such a one piece sword and would use its ringing quality to accompany his singing.
The sword's grip is rayskin wrapped, a feature matched by the wrap on the throat of the scabbard, making for a stunningly beautiful presentation. Sold Out

Hanwei Qing Sword (SH2007) |
Points: 65
|
The traditional perception of the Taiji sword becomes very apparent in the Qing Sword. The last of the Chinese Dynasties, the Qing (Ching) Dynasty was overthrown by rebellion as late as 1911, by which time the Taiji sword had completed its evolution into the "modern" form. The sword is crafted around a beautifully pattern-welded K120C blade with a flattened diamond section. The guard and pommel are constructed of gilded steel featuring a flying bat design, which in Chinese ideology symbolizes luck. The scabbard decorations are in gilded brass and the intricate knot-work of the tassel is art in its own right.
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. Sold Out
