The name of Hanwei, and that of its founder Paul Chen, engender an image of fine functional swords and historical weaponry. Based in Dalian, China, Hanwei manages to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern tooling and metallurgy, in a way that enables it to supply a world-wide market while meeting or exceeding the quality of custom-made products.
The Shaolin Temple Swords, the most collectable swords made in China today, are presented as gifts to honoured state guests of the Temple and to foreign dignitaries visited by Temple delegations. Authorized by: Shaolin Temple Shi Yong-Xin.
Recreated by the craftsmen of CAS/Hanwei from the swords of the Lords of the great dynasties, these Chinese Gongfu swords represent the pinnacle of the sword maker’s art, vividly illustrating the skills and creativity of the smiths of Imperial China.
These traditional wushu or kung fu weapons lie at the heart of the massive variety of Chinese martial arts, including Jian (Straight Sword), Dao (Chinese Saber) and Butterfly swords.
