Paul Chen’s Hanwei Forge has been fairly quiet in terms of new releases – but all that changed a few days ago..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, one of the swords really has come out at the worst possible time – so let’s get this one out of the way first..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing really could not be much more worse than this – just as Hanwei launch their tribute to the Russian Imperial Army, Russia launches a war against the Ukraine.. So really, the less said the better I think..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here it is – a fine sword in its own right.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But it has definitely been released at the worst possible time (no fault of Hanwei’s – like the rest of us they had no idea we would be seeing a War in Europe in 2022)..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully the other 5 swords are not quite as controversial – starting with two new T10 tool steel Katana named after two of the most prominent Daimyo in Japan’s long and turbulent history – starting with the Tokugawa Katana:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And complimented by the Hideyoshi Katana – both just $779.99<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then there are two new releases of two older products – the antiqued version of the Scottish Basket-hilt Backsword:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And a similar but quite different Basket-hilt Broadsword:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And finally, a very affordable and nifty little Saxon\/Viking Scramasax replica with Stag handle and carbon steel blade for just $85..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Not a bad line up, and always good to see some new swords and blades from one of the giants of the industry, though I still feel sorry for the Dragoon sword..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
