Forged & Folded Paul Chen Katana - CAS Iberia SwordsThe samurai weapons in this category are the high end swords of the Hanwei forge and suitable for both the practitioner and the collector.In ancient times, the technique of folding a katana blade was necessary to remove the impurities in the Japanese steel (tamahagane), which was of a somewhat poor quality. Today -since the quality of the steel is of a much higer level- this traditional technique tend to be of cosmetic value only. All of these folded katana does have a very attractive hamon and hada and absolutely and a good balance. The kami katana may be a bit heavy to practise Iaido and I do feel that it's more a collector item.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY
To my untrained eye, it does not have any deficiency. I am not an
experienced practitioner with a strong opinion on katana shape, weight,
geometry and ornaments, and if you are like me, you can't go wrong with
a PPK. On the contrary, spending more for a katana without having developed
the need for it by training and studying, would be inappropriate.
This is a sword that demands real respect be virtue of being real and honest.
