The Paul Chen Katana Authentic Style
The Paul Chen Katana is definitely a swift and agile blade constructed from top quality materials and constructed using traditional Japanese customary forging. The balance between the beauty and functionality of the sword is truly exceptional, which makes any Paul Chen Katana a very good deal considering its lower costs. Until Paul Chen went back to his sword making beginnings in China, the mass market in America had been over saturated with stainless steel imitiation Japanese type swords.
The Paul Chen Practical Katana tends to make use of differentially heat treated katanas whose high quality is certainly becoming appealing to collectors. Remember the fact that a geniune recently crafted Japanese katana created by a Japanese smith in Japan sells in the usa for approximately eight thousand dollars. Custom made stock steel swords will probably cost you around 2000 dollars. Paul Chen’s Shinto Katana produced in China creates swords less costly for the new collector with suggested prices of just below 5 hundred dollars.
With a blade length of just over twenty eight inches and weighing just over two pounds, the Paul Chen Katana is, till today, the closest reproduction of a Japanese sword in its price range. The blade on the Katana is clay differentially heat treated and clay treated using very old Japanese procedures to produce a hard edge and a softer spine and body to absorb impact and shock. The actual sword’s blade is completed with detailed hamon lines, a quality almost all blades of the exact same price would likely replace with acid etching into the sword. Besides the acid etching leaving an extremely unfinished look on these kinds of less expensive swords, but it also brings about structural harm to the blade after some time. Each sword features a unique temper line, the result of the clay treatment and heat treatment process, which greatly increases the polished, finished look of the sword and allows the sword to absorb more. The actual 10.5 inch handle features authentic ray skin as well as a cotton-wrap. The guard is richly decorated with a dragon motif.
Considering its price, the Paul Chen Katana is an excellent buy, and the most accurate reproduction of a real Japanese sword available for less than five hundred dollars. Numerous iaito training katanas are obtainable for around the same price range, however remember that they’re made of a soft zinc-aluminum metal which was never meant for doing anything more than kata movement practice.
Nearly all types of Japanese swords bend or break if they are used the wrong way. No katanas were made to be indestructable. The laws of physics and the construction of the blade will always limit the blade. Japanaese martial artists avoid blade to blade contact, as this does a hell of a lot of damage to the blades on the swords. The extent to which a blade can chip when an edge strikes against another edge would make a katana useless during a battle. The exact technique of martial arts the samurai applied geared to reduce the effects of their enemy with a single strike. The Paul Chen katana is of course a more authentic & elegant sword which isnt at risk of breakage when it is of course used correctly.
