Hanwei Golden Oriole Katana |
|
|
|
The elegantly simple lines of the Paul Chen / Hanwei Golden Oriole Katana have long been favored by admirers of the Japanese sword.
The story told by the stunning tsuba is of a mantis stealthily stalking a cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by a golden oriole.
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.
The matching Golden Oriole Wakizashi (Product no. SH1019) is also available to complete your collection.
