Cas Hanwei Paul Chen Tiger Katana Shirasaya new Battle Martial Art Sword Samurai

I bought this sword brand new in 2007 for $1700 and it had been a treasured item for many years.

I planned to use this heavy duty cutting blade to make a custom katana, but didn't get around to it

It has been well looked after and never used for training or cutting.

It is a discontinued but very sought after model. Top of the range, perfectly blending a heavy duty martial arts weapon, with a truly beautiful folded steel pattern and unique clay tempered hamon.

Hanwei Katanas are at the high end for practical use. Very well praised by martial artists around the world.

This Cas Hanwei Paul Chen Tiger Katana Shirasaya is a battle-ready martial arts weapon that is in excellent condition. Made of high-quality materials, this sword is perfect for those who want to enhance their martial arts skills or add to their collection. Crafted with attention to detail, this sword is sure to impress. It is sharp and durable, making it suitable for use in martial arts training or as a display piece. The sword is easy to handle and very well balanced making it perfect for beginners and experts alike. Overall, this sword is a great investment for anyone looking to add a high-quality, authentic martial arts weapon to their collection.
