Paul Chen Hanwei Bamboo Mat Katana

[NUFCRossy]

@vincent4500 hi, I think you will find the bamboo matt are by far better, but alot more expensive, I have the raptor unokubi zukuri and it's everything you need in a practical low end super strong katana. But if you have the cash get the bamboo matt simply for the amazing hamon line

[YY4Me133]

I'm not into weapons, but *that* is a work of art. Beautiful!

[k00lkane]

Why is everyone moaning you can see like a mm of wood!?

[thejues]

i would sugust a sword pillow so it doesent get any unwated dust or any contaminants on the blade....

[hisaru23]

What's the blade geometry traditional or new?

[CatcherInTheFry]

how many mekugi in this thing? i thought i saw 3

[loosifur]

hi can the tsuka be removed

[traceydeanrainey]

Ok the blade is outstanding! Only using same panels on the handle? What are they thinking? I totally can see the wood at the butt of the handle! Real deal breaker for me. I would pass on a beautiful blade in this case. I shouldn't have to fix a new sword that costs $450. I wouldn't buy a new BMW with vinyl seats and know I had to fix that by reupholstering the interior of the car with leather, it should come that way! CAS Hanwei are you slipping?

[Felixhase2007]

i really like it^^

[tarkin56]

I cant decide if i should get this or one of the raptor blades as my first real katana. The raptor blades look decent but im more of a collector than a martial artist any suggestions?

[KidFrom106]

Bad ASS HAMON!

[Jehosh27]

Whoa.... My mouth fell open on the Hamon. It's a real beauty. Recently added to the site?

[mangaboy213]

err how much is a sword grab bag shipping?

[Actionhero26]

Nice blade, but i'm dissapointed that for 450$ the tsuka is not fully wraped in same, you can even see the wood of the tsuka near the hilt, that for me is a deal breaker, just my oppinion of course.

[05AltimaSER]

@Actionhero26 Yea i see what your talking about. It is strange, maybe just a fluke?

[ashesinthewax]

@Actionhero26 $450 is standard internet "deal" price. You can get it for $340 at paulchenhanweiswords(dot)com.

[Okarkar]

I would kill to see a cut test of these (not the one that hanwei provides).. need some average dude swinging with that thing on some nice hard targets :)

[InitialXG]

thats one crazy hamon. is this blade folded steel?

[swordsofmight]

@InitialXG not folded, but differentially tempered. This is a new steel developed by Hanwei

[john1112112]

that sword is beautiful, which makes me worried about the price, do u mind telling me how much it cost?

[swordsofmight]

@john1112112 These go for $450

[ProVeng3r]

Hey SOM can you make a review video on the Raptor Moroha Zukuri?

[swordsofmight]

@ProVeng3r we will see what we can do

[vincent4500]

@swordsofmight any feedback on the Raptors??? trying to decide between a Raptor or the Bamboo Mat above...want a sword that is versatile and durable for all targets but wouldnt hurt if it looked as good as the bamboo mat either!

[disturbedTuts]

Do you guys have a cut test?

[swordsofmight]

@disturbedTuts not at this time.  We only got in a limited amount of these swords.

[texaswerewolf]

ahhh poetry in motion. It is a fine blade indeed.

[municsscareme]

 the only thing i dont like about the sword is it tsuba

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

damn! that is a wild looking hamon. awesome sword, it would be even more awesome if ya mailed me one for free :D

[swordsofmight]

@FatGuyWithAKatana LOL! I wish I could!

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

@swordsofmight not as much as i do ;)

when the economy stops sucking enough i'll send you some money then you can send me one.

[swordsofmight]

@FatGuyWithAKatana :)
