Points: 30

The Hanwei Musashi Katana is a Japanese sword modeled on the daito carried by Miyamoto Musashi, one of history's most celebrated swordmasters. Its hand-forged high carbon steel blade is edge-tempered to reveal a clear hamon, while the tsuka is wrapped in leather over rayskin and fitted with the legendary double-ring iron tsuba. The katana ships in a black, textured saya, along with a custom-fit cloth bag and a Japanese blade care kit.

| Hanwei Miyamoto Musashi Wakizashi (SH1017) |
Points: 20
|
During the Muromachi period (1568-1603), the introduction of the pairing of the Katana (the curved sword) and Wakizashi was introduced. The Wakizashi, or the shorter companion blade to the Katana, was about 18 inches long. Only the warrior class - the Samurai - was allowed to wear the two swords, which remained a custom for the next several hundred years until abolished in the 19th century. This Wakizashi is the companion piece to the Musashi Miyamoto Katana (SH1016) with matching fittings and blade construction. Supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.

| Hanwei Golden Oriole Katana (SH1018) |
Points: 35
|
The deeply lacquered blue of the saya is repeated in the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito, and a mantis motif appears again on the kashira. Unmistakably of Hanwei quality, the sword's approx. 36 cm long tsuka provides a superb balance, allowing it to move very quickly and very freely. Every Katana comes with a custom-fit cloth bag for proper protection and a Japanese blade maintenance kit.

| Hanwei Three Monkey Katana (SH2329) |
Points: 40
|
The "Three Wise Monkeys" is a popular symbol of the "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" proverb popular in many cultures around the world. The proverb itself is thought to have originated in China and was brought to Japan by a Buddhist monk, while the association with three monkeys appears to be a Japanese play on words. Our Three Monkey Katana (SH2329) and Wakizashi (SH2330) are built on traditional Shinogi Zukuri style blades with Bo-Hi to reduce weight and improve balance. The high-carbon blade is hand forged and differentially hardened. The blackened iron Tsuba features the "Three Wise Monkeys" in relief.

| Hanwei Ronin Katana (SH2360) |
Points: 50
|
The Story of the 47 Ronin is one of the most celebrated and influential tales of the Samurai from the Edo period. Lord Asano was a powerful Daimyo ordered by the Shogun to entertain guests of the Imperial Family. The highest ranking master of protocol, Kira, was given the task of teaching Asano, among others, proper matters of etiquette in this task. Lord Asano and Kira quickly grew to dislike each other and the teacher insulted his student at every opportunity. No longer able to contain himself, Asano drew his sword upon Kira, wounding him in the attack. This act led to Asano's ordered suicide (seppuku) and the confiscation of his property. On December 14, 1702, nearly one year after Asano's death, 47 of Asano's men (now Ronin), descended upon the mansion of Kira to exact their revenge.
