Hanwei Qing Sword – A Detailed Piece for Collector’s
Paul Chen’s own replica of the Hanwei Qing Sword is actually based on the traditional form of the Taiji sword and was forged in the exact same way that the sword smiths of the Chinese Imperialists used to employ themselves, making this sword a unique one among many other Chinese sword replicas out on the market.
Lying across the 29-inch K120C Damascus blade is a traditional pattern used by those old sword smiths of China as well as a flattened diamond, which forms a very important part of it. The guard and pommel show an image of a flying bat – traditionally believed to be for good luck – in gilded steel material.
The scabbard is also as detailed and elegant as the blade. Its decorations are made of gilded brass and a red tassel at the end, tied in the same kind of knot that was used on the traditional swords as well. Generally, the sword is made of absolutely flawless quality and is fully functional, counting as a wonderful addition to any Chinese weapons collection.
