The Hanwei swords,
by Paul Chen, have become the world’s top selling line of swords. As a
sword maker Mr. Chen is a perfectionist, and with every sword his obsession
with quality comes shining through. That same Chen quality can be seen
in his beginner line of samurai sword, the practical katana.
This cheap Paul Chen
katana will serve you well both as a functional sword, and/or as a decorative
showpiece for your collection. There really is no other sword that offers
the quality of this piece for the price you pay. If you’re in the
market for a beautiful sword for your collection, or for a good quality
functional sword, this may be the one for you.
This production sword features
a differentially tempered blade with a visible hamon line. The blade is
enhanced with acid to make the hamon line stand out when hand polishing
is completed. Right from the Kashira (butt-capp) to the Kissaki (point)
the quality that Paul Chen swords are known for comes shining through.
The Practical
Katana as a Collector’s Item
For the sword collector, the practical katana is an excellent piece to
add to your collection. In fact, it may become your prize piece as your
friends stare in awe at the enhanced blade, and the ornate rayskin-wrapped
handle.
Buy your practical katana with
a single sword stand to really make it stand out in your collection.
The Practical
Katana as a Functional Sword
The Budo practitioner will also find function in this Paul Chen sword.
Your practical katana is battle ready, and is built to withstand the rigors
of sword practice. As an entry level sword you will have trouble finding
a better value for your money.
Functional Note: This
sword is a high quality piece made for light cutting. If your sword practice
includes heavier cutting exercises we recommend upgrading to the Practical
XL Light Katana, or the Practical plus Elite Sword. These swords are specifically
designed with tameshigiri in mind, the practical katana isn’t.
