Hanwei Practical Hand and a Half Sword by Paul Chen

Our Hanwei Practical Hand and a Half Sword by Paul Chen are based on authentically styled swords in our collection, but they are tailored to meet the needs of re-enactment and stage combat. These very popular and affordable weapons feature authentic hilt styling, with fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blades. They are designed to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today's re-enactment societies. The blades are crafted from 1065 high-carbon steel, hardened to 50HRC, which restricts edge-notching to acceptable levels while providing resilience and protection against brittleness. While the blades are substantial, they are fullered to provide balance and good handling characteristics. They feature 1/16" wide edges and rounded tips for safety. The tangs are also substantial, with radiused corners at the blade shoulders and no welds. The end of the tang is riveted over the pommel, which both eliminates any possibility of inadvertent disassembly. The hardwood grips are leather-covered. The scabbards are fabricated in glass-filled resin, to eliminate swelling and to minimize blade corrosion problems, with belt rings that adjust to allow vertical or horizontal carry. The wood-grain finish is attractive, but most re-enactors will decorate the scabbard to match their persona.The Practical Hand-and-a Half sword is based on the Albrecht sword, a classic design from the early part of the 15th century, with a simple cruciform hilt, flattened diamond-section blade and typical hand-and-a-half grip. With a weight of just 3 ¼ lbs. it handles very well without tiring the player during a long day in the field. Made by Hanwei.

This was my first sword,it has and still does server me well. This was my training sword and I cant tell you how much punishment I put this baby through, worst of all learning how to block with the flat of the blade by instinct, You watch too many Hollywood movies its hard to reverse that mentality, and its hard on the blade but she's still a truckin'. For the record however, the scabbard is not wood, its fiberglass with wood laminate/paint. I eventually made my own out of wood, I still have the original but it seemed flimsy and weak so i made a sturdy cherry wood scabbard. :)
