CAS Hanwei SH2449 Lion Dog Wakizashi Sword

The Lion Dog Wakizashi from Paul Chen of Hanwei features a blade with an o-kissaki made of high-alloy HWS-1S steel, which is known for its exceptional performance and a remarkable o-choji hamon. This steel is produced in Hanwei's new factory using state-of-the-art equipment, resulting in a highly pure blade with advanced metallurgy that has the best edge-holding capability and resilience of any blade ever made by Hanwei. The exceptional performance of blades forged from HWS-1S steel is a result of a carefully selected combination of alloying elements and a complex processing procedure, which involves manipulating the steel's carbon content across the blade section. The outcome is an extremely tough and resilient blade with a hard, highly abrasion-resistant edge.

The fittings are intricately detailed, featuring a lion-dog themed black iron tsuba, along with matching fuchi/kashira and golden peony menuki. The saya is also complex, with a gloss-lacquered ribbed section at the koiguchi/kurikata and a Balance spatter-lacquered finish, giving it a very attractive appearance. The premium multi-colored sageo is hand-woven in pure silk.
