Handmade Hanwei European Swords

For a long time now I have been evaluating and testing various products offered by Hanwei and I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality for the fair pricing.

As an alternative to some of the more expensive and longer delivery time custom models on my site I am offering a selection of Hanwei swords that I personally approve of.

Quality materials, solid construction, and a faster delivery time for you the customer adds up pretty decent in my book.

These swords have a bit rougher of a finish than I provide on my own models and the edges often exhibit secondary bevels and are not as sharp. But if you don't mind those features then these might be a good choice for you. For an extra fee I can clean up these swords to my standard of finish and edge geometry. Email or call me for details.
