Hanwei Paul Chen Swords - The Bamboo Stick Katana
The “Stick Katana” was born around 1876 when the Samurai class was banned from carrying their swords. As you can imagine this attempt to end what has been a tradition for a thousand year was not received lightly by the warrior class. The Stick Katana was invented to conceal the revered blades.

This sword features an artfully carved bamboo scabbard and handle with a blade (nagasa) that is hand-forged with 1065 high-carbon steel and is differentially hardened using a traditional claying method. The edge hardness and resilient blade body produced by this technique embody the true secret of the Samurai sword.
