Hanwei Tactical Katana by Paul Chen SH24621

The Hanwei Tactical Katana by Paul Chen is a purpose-built modern sword that brings traditional blade geometry into the 21st century with combat-ready strength. Inspired by the proven cutting performance of the Paul Chen Raptor series, this version takes things a step further with full tang construction for unmatched durability in real-world applications. Whether you're cutting through dense brush or training for high-stress encounters, this katana won’t back down.

At the heart of this weapon is a 29" blade made from 5160 high-carbon spring steel—known for its outstanding toughness, edge retention, and shock resistance. The blade is factory-sharp, delivering clean, efficient cuts with minimal resistance, and built to handle the kind of abuse that would ruin lesser blades. It's designed to work hard, hit harder, and keep going when other blades fail.

The full tang runs the entire length of the katana for maximum power transfer and structural integrity. A checkered Kraton handle provides a secure grip, no matter the weather or situation. Wet hands, sweat, gloves—none of it matters. This handle locks into your palm and stays there, letting you wield the blade with full confidence. The gold accent details on the handle add just the right touch of contrast to its otherwise blacked-out, mission-ready design.

Weighing in with a 39.6" overall length, the Tactical Katana is long enough for devastating two-handed strikes while remaining light enough to carry on long treks or missions. The fiberglass scabbard keeps the blade protected without adding unnecessary bulk. It won't absorb water, swell, or warp in humid conditions, making it ideal for field use in any climate.

Several lanyard holes are built into the scabbard, allowing you to rig it however you like—lash it to a pack, hang it from your gear, or sling it over your back. Included gold paracord enhances both function and appearance, offering emergency cordage and a bold visual signature. Order it today from SMKW!
