Hanwei Shinto Shinken Katana w Bohi (SH6004SGF) |
Points: 45
|
The Shinto Shinken Katana features a more traditional blade style than the other Performance Series models, specifically designed for a more frequent drawing practice, with a live sharp blade.
These live Iaito swords (Shinken) from Hanwei are made for the experienced Iaido practitioner who wishes to include light cutting (Tameshigiri) in his repertoire. The Shinken features optimized blade geometry, combining excellent balance with minimum weight for repetitive drawing, while retaining sufficient backbone for cutting light targets. The Shinto models have hand-forged high-carbon steel blades. Each blade is differentially hardened, to produce a distinctive hamon, and is grooved for balance and audible feedback in the cutting stroke. Sold Out

Hanwei Musashi XL Katana (SH6003XGF) |
Points: 30
|
Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the most famous swordmaster in Japanese history, fought more than 60 duels before retiring and writing his famous treatise on swordplay, the "Book of Five Rings". Development of the two-sword style of swordplay, with the Daito (long sword) and Wakizashi being used together, is credited to Musashi. Mounted in black, the Musashi Elite is faithful to the original down to the famous double-ring iron tsubas. The tsuka-ito is in leather over ray skin. The blades are hand-forged in high-carbon steel, with new geometry to enhance cutting ability. It is edge-tempered using the traditional clay tempering method, resulting in a distinct hamon. Edge hardness is HRC60, back hardness HRC40. The grip is double-pegged to the tang for safety. The cutting style katanas (Elite, XL, XL Light) include a traditional maintenance kit. Sold Out

Hanwei 1841 6-Pdr Cannon (FH2345) |
Points: 30
|
The Model 1841 6-Pounder gun was made in large numbers for the Mexican War and was in general service at the outbreak of the American Civil War. As a result they were widely used in large numbers by both the Federal and Confederate armies. Weighing approximately 900 lbs., these guns were fairly easily transported and maneuvered. They were superseded fairly early in the war, lacking the power of heavier guns and the range of rifled pieces, but nevertheless they have an important place in the history of the nation's conflict.
This 1/5 scale replica of the 6-pdr. is made with exacting attention to detail. Crafted entirely in steel and solid oak, with a barrel of blued steel, this reminder of a momentous time in our nation's history measures a little over two feet long and weighs in at a hefty 12-1/4 lbs. A treasure for the Civil War enthusiast, this outstanding piece will make an imposing display in any home or office. Sold Out

With the draw pole fitted, the Limber is a little under three feet long, and when assembled to the cannon the length of the whole carriage is some 4 ˝ feet. Sold Out

Hanwei Dragon Plaque (OH2334) |
Points: 24

This imposing plaque is a superb rendition of the Hanwei dragon, finely cast in stainless steel and mounted on a solid wood base.

Hanwei Bamboo Butterfly Yanone (XH2230) |
Points: 2
|
Our Japanese arrowheads (yanone) are faithfully reproduced from originals in museum collections. Some yanone were strictly utilitarian while others, like most of these examples, were beautifully pierced and decorated and used primarily for presentations and temple offerings. Most pieces fall into one of several broad groupings. The Torii, Dharma, Monkey Moon and Bamboo Butterfly fall into "Willowleaf" pattern, while the Swimming Dragon, Watakusi, Sakura and Fudo follow the Flesh Terror (Barbed) profile. The Karimata, Dragon Cloud, Boar's Eye and Tiger Dragon are crafted in what is known as the "Rope Cutter" style, though it is more likely that this profile was used for hunting big game rather than cutting ropes. These arrowheads, either singly or in groups, are outstanding collectibles and conversation pieces. Also available is the arrowhead display stand (OH2235) to showcase up to 6 arrowheads.
