Hanwei HN-SH2294 Paper Crane Katana

Hanwei Paper Crane Katana

The Hanwei Paper Crane Katana is a work of art at its finest. This sword is considered to be the highest level of quality currently available for swords forged by Hanwei. Featuring a Tamahagane steel blade, this katana is a testament to the quality of products produced by the Hanwei house.

The Tamahagane steel blade is forged using high-grade steel obtained from the traditional Japanese furnace, Tatara. This type of furnace produces very pure steel from iron sand. The resulting steel, called Kera (flower), is separated into different carbon-containing pieces, from which the blade core and sheath are formed. The blade shell is then repeated forged and folded to remove slag inclusions and voids. The blade is forged with special care and attention before being heat-treated and then polished to reveal the Hada and white Hamon particles.

The design of the katana is inspired by the art of origami, the folding of paper, and features beautiful decoration of paper cranes on the Tsuba, Fuchi and Kashira. The Menuki feature MIME masks that are used in Japanese and Western theatre alike. The Saya accommodates a Kozuka and is decorated with musical instruments from the theatre.

The Hanweii Paper Crane Katana is not only extremely popular among collectors due to its distinctive and beautiful appearance, but it is also a highly functional sword. The carbon in the scabbard gives it superior strength and shock absorption, and its softer core gives it exceptional cutting ability.

The total length of this katana is about 99.7 cm, with a blade length of about 71.1 cm. The weight of this katana is around 1042 g, with a weight of 10.3 cm before speaking. The width of the blade at speaking is about 3.1 cm, while the thickness of the blade at speaking is around 6 mm, and at the tip, the thickness is about 4 mm.

Not only is the Hanweii Paper Crane Katana a work of art, it is also a highly functional and high-quality sword that will surely be the pride of any collector.
