Meijin Katana - Cas Hanwei (Paul Chen)
The Meijin Iaito folded steel samurai sword is an amazing testament to CAS Hanwei quality. The blade is forged-folded T10 high-carbon steel with grooves (bo-hi) on both sides of the blade, which makes for a lighter blade and audible feedback on the cutting stroke.
The blade of this japanese sword is differentially hardened using a traditional claying method and has a beautiful grain pattern (hada) with visible layers. The Meijin has a very sharp edge and is capable of light target cutting.
The tsuka on this samurai sword is wrapped in genuine ray skin (same) and the tsuka-ito is premium black Japanese cotton. The black iron square tsuba, fuchi, & kashira are finished in a �Turbulent Ocean� motif. The habaki is a one-piece brass construction. The saya is finished in a beautiful black matte/gloss striped finish extending the length of the scabbard and the sageo is black cotton.
The Meijin Iaito folded steel samurai sword represents the pinnacle of production quality for Shinken.
