Paul Chen/Hanwei SH2114 Golden Oriole Katana Overall: 42-1/4"<>27-1/4" Blade, Hand forged high-carbon T10 steel blade, deeply lacquered blue scabbard! 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 the cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by the Golden Oriole. The deeply lacquered blue of the saya is repeated in the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito, and the Oriole appears again on the kashira. Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the 14” tsuka of the katana gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing it to move very quickly and very freely. Supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit. Made by Hanwei.   Key Features Hand forged high-carbon steel Built for cutting Traditional construction Golden Oriole Katana MSRP: $990.00 Currently out of stock Made In China Specifications Overall: 42 1/4" Blade Length: 27 1/4" Handle Length: 14" Weight: 2lb 3oz Point of Balance: 4" Width at Guard: 1.16" Width at Tip: .85" Thickness at Guard: .32" Thickness at Tip: .26" Sori: 3/4" Blade Steel: T10  Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece.     Paul Chen/Hanwei SH1018 Golden Oriole Katana Overall: 42-1/4"<>27-1/4" Blade, Hand forged high-carbon T10 steel blade, deeply lacquered blue scabbard MFG'S Price $990.00 "World Wide SPECIAL" "GET ONE BEFORE THEY ARE ALL GONE" "Made In China"
