The Ming dynasty was a particularly colorful and exciting period in Chinese History, and it was during this era that many believe the great martial art of Tai Chi was mastered. To date, practitioners of the art still stay true to the Ming origins and herald the superior skills of the masters.

Cas Hanwei understand this sentiment and have crafted an original line of Chinese straight swords that even the greatest "sifu" would appreciate! Designed by the great Master Adam Hsu, the 34 inch blade of this piece is forged from the finest high carbon spring steel with pronounced center ridge and distal taper. Intrinsic to its authentic properties is the Ming style guard embossed with Dragon symbol and the unique wooden handle that stays true to the ancient designs.

With it pivotal point of balance, the sword arcs gracefully through the air with an audible hiss on the cutting stroke that any master would appreciate. The sword comes with its own specially fashioned scabbard that securely holds the blade in place.

This is the perfect performance piece or just a great blade to wield for every practice.
