The Paul Chen Practical Katanas have always been at the forefront of providing economical yet functional swords to the martial arts community.  These Practical Iaito combine the blade geometries and profiles of Performance Series Iaito with the affordability of our Practical fittings.  The removeable handle is tightly wrapped in the traditional style with imitation leather to provide a positive grip that will withstand years of kata practice.  See Hanwei models SH6000IGE and SH6000IGG for other Practical Iaito blade length options.

The Performance Series remains the standard in the Japanese sword industry since its introduction in the mid-2000s. Being the go-to cutting katana for practitioners, our newly updated Performance series katana will maintain their place in the sword market. They are highly imitated but never truly replicated by the competition. You can  purchase with confidence in CAS Hanwei brand swords with our four decades of knowledge and expertise in manufacturing.

 

Made formerly at the legendary Hanwei forge that closed in 2024, the famed artisans of Dalian at the Dragon King forge take the mantle of this legendary brand. Former protégé of Paul Chen and original engineer of the manufacturing of the Hanwei brand, Frenchie Jin knows these swords better than anyone else as he was a part or their original conception at the original Hanwei Metal Factory. The CAS Hanwei brand couldn’t be in better manufacturing hands for the future.

Please note: the katana, wakizashi or tanto’s sageo (cord) on the saya (scabbard) may not be wrapped as pictured. Sageo color may vary.
