Hanwei Meijin Iaito Katana - An amazing Paul Chen Sword
If you are familiar with samurai swords you already know that CAS/Hanwei or Paul Chen are synonym of quality. The Meijin Iaito katana is no different, the blade is forged-folded with T10 high-carbon steel with grooves (bo-hi) on both sides of the blade. This in turn, makes the blade lighter and allow an audible feedback when swung.
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine ray skin (same) and the tsuka-ito is premium black Japanese cotton. The black iron square tsuba, fuchi, & kashira are done in a “Turbulent Ocean” motif. The habaki is a one-piece brass construction. The saya is done in a beautiful black matte striped finish going the whole length of the scabbard and the sageo is black cotton.
