Forge: Paul Chen Hanwei Swords
Part Number: SH1070
|
The Paul Chen Hanwei Practical Katana gives the martial artist the opportunity to own and use a Hanwei sword at the cost of an economy sword. 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. See also the Practical Wakizashi and Practical tanto for companions to this sword.

Great katana. I was surprised at how thin this blade is. was expecting something a little bit more robust. However, this katana is very light & manuverable. It is lightning fast & a delight to wield. The tsuka is put together very well & is super tight. The blade is flawless w/ a strait line hamon. Not highly polished, but the grain of the metal is vissible & appealing. The hammer marks are also visible & very uniform. Definately worth the economical price tag, if you are considering purchasing this Katana, don't hesitate.

Great sword overall for the price. Light, well balanced, tough. I like simple aesthetics, and the new rounded iron tsuba is perfect. The swede-feel wrap is very comfortable and secure. The hamon is straight but prominent, though the blade-plane polish is not fine (no worries scuffing it cutting). The blade is a bit narrow (edge to back) but so far seems strong. The only cons: The fake same has one visible seam (odd) and the scabbard mouth developed an early hairline crack (doesn't effect security). Otherwise, this is my current favorite all around training sword (vs. the PC practical plus and practical pro).
