When it comes to collectors pieces, the Praying Mantis
Katana by Paul Chen, is a must for any collection. It is also an excellent
sword for the budo practitioner and for tameshigiri.
Truly this is one
sword that really shows the quality that Paul Chen is known for. In every
aspect of this sword you will find perfection! The Praying Mantis is a
symbol of cunning and power in traditional Japanese culture, and it is

those accents with the shobu-zukuri style blade and the result is a sword
that shows grace and beauty.
