Hanwei by Paul Chen - Tiger Elite Katana - 29 inch Blade - Utilizing a hand forged and folded Performance Series katana blade and some of the finest fittings available, the Tiger is equally at home as a cutting blade or showpiece. The K120C powder steel blade is differentially tempered using the traditional claying method which produces a HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. This allows for superior edge holding and cutting ability while allowing the blade to absorb the shock of a blow. The hamon, or temper line, and hada - folding pattern - are very prominent. The koshirae, or fittings, are all made from blackened bronze and detailed in gold. The tsuba - guard - is made from blackened iron with a stalking tiger motfi. The same is of the finest ray skin while the tsuka-ito - handle wrap - and sageo - scabbard cord - are made from top-quality japanese cotton. The Tiger is supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.
Desiring to collect high quality swords within a reasonable price range and having very little luck, Paul Chen set out to create his own. Now, after 30-plus years, Hanwei by Paul Chen is one of the foremost brands collectors seek when looking for the finest usable, collector's quality swords, both Asian and European. Depending on the application, each sword is crafted with the highest quality steel and each generation sees great improvements over the perfection of the former. Personally tested by Paul Chen, every design - be it fencing foil or katana - sets the stage for pleasing aesthetics, high utility, and collection satisfaction.
