Samurai Swords

All the swords in this category are hand-forged of high carbon steel by the artists at Hanwei, directed by the skilled sword smith Paul Chen. These swords are the highest-quality samurai and ninja swords we offer; many have exotic fittings and limited quantities, but they are still highly functional samurai swords. Some are constructed of special grades of steel; others are hand-folded to produce extremely strong blades; some (such as the Paper Crane Katana) use both! If you're looking for the best katana you can buy, look no further!
