Points: 9
|
The Water Song Wushu Broadsword (SH2064) has an ultra-flexible high-carbon blade, tapering to almost paper-thin at the tip. At barely a pound in weight, the sword is very quick and the Water Song (caused by vibrating the blade) is very audible.

| Hanwei The Chinese Pudao (SH2072) |
Points: 14
|
The Chinese Pudao, originally an infantry weapon, has been adopted into the martial arts and its use in the hands of a skilled practitioner is spectacular. This weapon is also known as a horse-cutter sword, since it was used to slice the legs out from under a horse during battle. Our Pudao (SH2072) is a weapon to be coveted by infantry of old and modern martial artists alike. The high-carbon tempered steel blade has an agressive distal taper to promote quickness and balance and a long tang for strength, while the oak staff is tightly wrapped in a traditional pattern to optimize handling and adds to the distinctive appearance, as do the dragon-head bronzed steel blade collar and bell tassel. This weapon combines the best attributes of the sword and staff.

| Hsu Quandao (SH2212) |
Points: 20
|
Named for its originator, the great General Kwan Yu, The Quandao started life as a powerful military weapon weighing over 100 lbs., but has since evolved into a martial arts weapon weighing considerably less (ours is 5 1/2 lbs.). The un-edged high-carbon steel blade has a distal taper for balance and is engraved in a dragon motif with the traditional bell tassel attached to the hook. The wooden staff terminates in a quatrefoil pommel and the blood cup and guard have a distinctive antiqued finish. Lighter and better balanced than most Quandaos on the market, ours is ideal for the martial artist training with this formidable weapon. The stand for the Quandao (OH2290) is crafted in solid oak and displays the weapon beautifully in the vertical position.

| Hanwei Dadao - Kungfu Big Sword (SH1012) |
Points: 9
|
Long the traditional weapon of China`s peasant armies, the Dadao, or big sword (SH1012), 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. Although the originals had no scabbard, a simple carrying case is provided for protection and ease of transportation.

| Hanwei Butterfly Swords (SH2067) |
Points: 12
|
Butterfly Swords (aka 8-Cutting Swords) are believed to have been developed by Shaolin monks as a concealable defensive weapon, used to disable rather than kill, which was prohibited by the monk`s code of conduct. The use of butterfly swords has since been honed to a fine art by martial artists, particularly the Wing Chun & Hung Gar styles of Southern China, where precision and two-sword coordination are emphasized. Our Butterfly Swords Set (SH2067) by CAS/Hanwei is a high-quality set featuring high-carbon tempered steel sharp blades with traditional dragon scroll patterning, leather wrapped grips and steel guards decorated in a dragon motif. This same motif is repeated on the fittings of the double scabbard. A wall plaque is included for display of the swords.

| Hanwei Tang Jian (SH2349) |
Points: 20
|
Our Tang Sword is a Jian that exemplifies the artistry and symbolism in Chinese culture across many generations. The proportions and balance of the sword will appeal to the Taijiquan practitioner, while the unique fittings and decoration will establish its place in many collections. The lion-dog guard is fashioned after the shoulder guards of the Mingguang Armour, an important armour suit dating from the Tang dynasty, while the handle is wrapped in leather over ray skin in a traditional Chinese style for a superior grip. The diamond-section blade has both profile and distal tapers, making for a very quick sword, and is engraved with an ancient dragon pattern over most of its length,. The wooden scabbard is decorated in figured brass and is provided with a belt attachment. The throat of the scabbard fits snugly into the mouth of the lion-dog, an interesting and unique feature!

| Hanwei Qi Jian (SH2295) |
Points: 40
|
From the master swordsmiths of the Hanwei forge comes the Qi Jian, a re-creation of an ancient design that utilized one-piece forging. The entire sword, from pommel to tip, has been forged from a single billet of steel. This forging technique provides unparalleled strength and balance while exhibiting a clear, bell-like tone when lightly struck.
The sword's name originates with the Qi nation, one of the many warring states that eventually formed modern China. Legend has it that Feng-Xuan, one of the Qi people and a central character in a well known folk tale, possessed such a one piece sword and would use its ringing quality to accompany his singing.
The sword's grip is rayskin wrapped, a feature matched by the wrap on the throat of the scabbard, making for a stunningly beautiful presentation.

| Hanwei Qing Sword (SH2007) |
Points: 65
|
The traditional perception of the Taiji sword becomes very apparent in the Qing Sword. The last of the Chinese Dynasties, the Qing (Ching) Dynasty was overthrown by rebellion as late as 1911, by which time the Taiji sword had completed its evolution into the "modern" form. The sword is crafted around a beautifully pattern-welded K120C blade with a flattened diamond section. The guard and pommel are constructed of gilded steel featuring a flying bat design, which in Chinese ideology symbolizes luck. The scabbard decorations are in gilded brass and the intricate knot-work of the tassel is art in its own right.
Recreated by the craftsmen of CAS Hanwei from the swords of the Lords of the great dynasties, these Chinese Gongfu swords represent the pinnacle of the sword maker's art, vividly illustrating the skills and creativity of the smiths of Imperial China.

| Hanwei Ming Sword (SH2006) |
Points: 70
|
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 controlled Yuan Dynasty. The beauty of this delightfully compact sword centers on its superb pattern-welded K120C 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 dynastic designs plated in silver.

| Hanwei Beile Dao (SH2386) |
Points: 60
|
The original Beile (Lord in Manchu), also known as the "Banner Lords" and "Iron-Capped Princes" were the sons of Nurgaci, founder of the Qing Dynasty. After his death the Beile Hong Taiji was selected as Khan.
Our Beile Dao commemorates this Prince. Its beautifully detailed Iron furniture complements the patterning of the Damascus blade and the rayskin-covered scabbard adds to the rugged richness of the sword. Truly a collector piece and creating a demand in its homeland, this sword will only be available in limited quantities.

Our Song Sword sets the standard for functional production quality swords.

| Han Sword (SH2005) |
Points: 80
|
The Han Sword is a cavalry pattern from the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), which reunited China and established boundaries very similar to those existing today. The rosewood grip and scabbard are inlaid with silver in an intricate scroll pattern, while the gilded steel guard, pommel and scabbard decorations feature the "crouching tiger" motif. The random pattern K120C Damascus blade, with its ridged central fuller and reinforced point is admirably suited for slashing cuts and powerful thrusts from horseback.
