Hanwei - Quality and razor sharp

by Ian Welch
(Durham (United Kindom))

hada layers and natural hamon

hada layers and natural hamon

I currently own two CASHanwei Paul Chen swords

Praying Mantis Sword

Tiger Elite Katana

these swords are exceptionally sharp, after reading other articles where owners have had the misfortune of cutting then selves or prospective buyers are questioning how sharp these blades are, take note, all of his blades are very very sharp, from the classic series to the pro series and every thing else above in price. These katana’s are razor sharp. You have been warned !!

There is a real solid quality feel about these functional Japanese swords, weighty and sturdy, the hand forged and folded line are beautiful blades with stunning natural hamon, and hada layers.

If you can afford it, they are well worth it.

Hanwei Tiger & Mantis
by: Ian Welch

Both swords have a heavy solid feel to them, both are made really well, the handle and the guards have again this solid quality feel about them, gives you confidence in actually using the sword for cutting practice.
I got the tiger elite which is a thicker heavier blade, the mantis has a blood grove and a slimmer blade profile, bother are beautiful and quality made, which ever one you got you wont be disappointed. Even better mate buy both !!
