The Hanwei Tiger Elite Katana - An Amazing Paul Chen Sword.
The Paul Chen Tiger Elite Katana has been completely improved from kissaki to kashira. The new and improve version uses a hand forged and folded Performance series katana blade. Add to that the finest of Paul Chen fittings. This sword is the perfect buy if you are looking for a deluxe cutting sword or simply an amazing showpiece.
The K120C powder steel blade is differentially hardened 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.
