HAND FORGED CHINESE SWORDS
Each sword is hand inspected before delivery to insure that you are getting the
best quality product possible.
SONG (YANLING) SWORD
Deriving its name from the "goose-feather" shaped blade, the
Yanling Sword was originally developed in the Song Dynasty. This is clearly
another example of the high quality craftsmanship from the Hanwei forge. The
sword features a folded Swedish powder steel blade. The solid bronze "full moon"
guard has a flying goose motif in relief on the grip side and traditional "good
fortune" patterning on the blade side. This theme is repeated on the pommel and
scabbard fittings. The grip is leather-wrapped over sharkskin. The scabbard is
also covered with sharkskin. The beauty of this sword belies the fact that it is
fully functional, with great inherent strength, balance and cutting ability. The
weight is approximately 2 lb. 3 oz.

HAN SWORD
This is another powerful yet beautiful
sword from the Hanwei forge. The Paul Chen Han Sword is based on a cavalry
pattern from the Han Dynasty (206 BC -- 220 AD). During the Han Dynasty China
was reunited and many of the boundaries established then are very similar to
those in existing today. The sword features a rosewood grip and scabbard inlaid
with silver in an intricate scroll pattern throughout. The gilded steel guard,
pommel and scabbard decorations feature a "crouching tiger" motif. The random
pattern Damascus blade, with its ridged central fuller and reinforced point is
suited for slashing cuts and powerful thrusts from horseback. The weight is
approximately 4 lb. The sword comes in a wooden shipping box.

CHING SWORD
The Paul Chen Ching sword is a tribute
to the artfulness of the Ch’ing Dynasty. The last of the Chinese Dynasties, the
Ch'ing (or Quing) Dynasty was overthrown by rebellion as late as 1911. The
traditional perception of the form of the T'ai Chi sword becomes very apparent
in the Ch'ing Sword. The sword is crafted around a beautifully pattern-welded
blade with a flattened diamond cross section. The guard and pommel in gilded
steel are patterned in a flying bat design. The scabbard decorations are in
gilded brass and the intricate knots of the tassel are a work of art in its own
right. The weight is approximately 3 lb. 6 oz. The sword comes in a wooden
shipping box.

MING SWORD
The pattern of the Ming Sword dates from the Ming
Dynasty (1368 AD -- 1644 AD), which ruled China for almost three centuries after
the fall of the Mongol Dynasty. The beauty of this delightfully compact sword
centers on its superb pattern-welded blade, forged with a ridged central fuller
providing the stiffness required for thrusting and the lightness required for
speed. The grip is sculpted from brown buffalo horn, which is also used in thin,
translucent wafers as a shell for the intricately decorated scabbard. The brass
fittings are selectively decorated with oriental designs plated in silver. The
weight is approximately 2 lb. The sword comes in a wooden shipping box.

The Black Practical Katana gives the martial artist the opportunity to own a
sword that works well for practice or for cutting. Paul Chen developed

carbon-steel, tempered sword at an economical price. (Please note the
blade and point are very sharp.) This model features a solid brass guards
and pommel and is plated to harmonize with color scheme of the sword. The
sword has a plain black scabbard and grip. This blade features a
flattened-diamond cross section, which is moderately stiff while still allowing

PRACTICAL KUNG FU
The Practical Kung Fu sword is a further extension of
our "Practical" Series. The sword weighs only 1-1/2 lbs, and can be handled by
the younger student as well as the experienced practitioner. The textured wooden
scabbard is designed with a slotted opening, which makes both for easy sheathing
and for graceful lines. In line with other swords in the "Practical" Series, the
Practical Kung Fu is very affordable. The sword is available in edged and
unedged versions. The weight is approximately 3 lb. 2 oz.

DAO SWORD
The Kungfu Sword or Dao is undoubtedly one of the best
weapon-grade sword of its type commercially available. Unlike the many
decorative and theatrical versions of this sword, the Hanwei product is a true
replica of the original. A brass-mounted scabbard is included. The
distal-tapered blade and traditional hand-tied grip make for superb handling.
The weight is approximately 1 lb. 14 oz.

DADAO SWORD
Long the traditional weapon of China's peasant armies,
the Dadao, or fighting sword, was used with deadly effect as late as the 1930's
in the Sino-Japanese war. Its single- or two-handed versatility, combined with
the tremendous slashing power of its weight-forward blade made it the ideal
close-quarters weapon. Our Dadao has a high-carbon steel blade and a full-length
tang for tremendous strength. Although the originals had no scabbard, a simple
carrying case is provided for protection and ease of transportation. The weight
is approximately 3 lb. 5 oz.

BANSHEE SWORD
Developed from the Burmese "Da" & the Thai "Krabi", the
Banshee is a light, superbly balanced cutting sword for one- or two-hand use.
The high-carbon steel forged blade features a rugged full-length tang for power
and rugged reliability. A spring clip provides positive retention of the sword
in the scabbard and, in combination with the included shoulder strap, allows
many carrying options. The ultimate brush cutter! The weight is approximately 1
lb. 7 oz.
