History is unfolding before our eyes, and with it comes the final masterpiece from the original Hanwei Forge—one last sword, forged before the tariff wall reshaped the landscape of sword-making.
Introducing the Dragonfly Katana, a blade that embodies both tradition and mastery.
Forged from T10 and 1055 carbon steel, folded and differentially hardened, this katana showcases a clear hamon and active hada, standing as a testament to the skill of its makers. Complementing its beauty, the sword features Japanese-imported silk ito, a black iron tsuba with copper inlays, and a Dragonfly-themed fuchigashira that brings an elegant final touch to this exceptional piece.
Available in three different blade lengths, this katana marks not just the end of an era, but also an opportunity—an opportunity to own a piece of sword-making history while it remains within reach. With only about a dozen of each length available, this may be your last chance to acquire a brand-new Hanwei Forge sword.
What does the future hold for the industry? That remains uncertain. If tariffs persist, new swords may become increasingly rare—or even disappear altogether, as sword forges struggle to withstand the ongoing trade war. While we remain hopeful, the reality is that some forges may not recover, making this moment all the more significant.
What does this mean for you?
It means that now is the time to act. While circumstances are beyond our control, you still have the chance to own an exceptional katana at what is effectively a bargain price before the landscape shifts even further. The Dragonfly Katana is more than a sword—it’s a piece of history, an artifact of an industry at a crossroads, and a symbol of craftsmanship that may never be seen again.
Don’t wait for uncertainty to decide for you. Secure yours now and claim a blade that may become the last of its lineage:
