CAS Hanwei SH1018 Golden Oriole Katana

Golden Oriole Katana by Hanwei

The elegantly simple lines of the Hanwei Golden Oriole Katana SH1018 have long been favored by admirers of the Japanese sword.

The story told by the stunning tsuba is of a mantis stealthily stalking the cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by the Golden Oriole.

The deeply lacquered blue of the saya is repeated in the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito, and the Oriole appears again on the kashira.

Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the 14" tsuka of the katana gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing it to move very quickly and very freely.

Katana is supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.
