Paul Chen Hanwei Japanese Katana

For a quarter of a century CAS Hanwei (formerly C.A.S. Iberia) has been providing top quality Japanese katana, medieval swords, reenactment arms and armor, and accessory equipment to an ever-growing number of enthusiasts.

Through our relationship with Paul Chen, his son Ron and the Hanwei forge in Dalian China we are able to produce some of the finest Samurai Swords (Katana, Wakizashi and Tanto) available. Installation of a state-of-the-art furnace is enabling Hanwei to produce its own high-alloy steels, and sophisticated heat treating equipment and techniques are producing some remarkable Paul Chen Swords.

Our partnership with GDFB (Get Dressed For Battle) continues to flourish, providing reenactors and role-players with an ever-expanding selection of plate armor, protective clothing, chain mail, garments and period accessories.

Rawlings Sparring Swords, our new line of polymer sparring swords, is rapidly finding favor with European broadsword sparring enthusiasts. They are designed specifically for safe sparring practice while preserving the feel of live steel blade contact so important to the training of historical european martial arts.
