There are several reasons that Paul Chen Samurai swords
are in great demand.
Fist and probably most importantly is that it’s
very hard to find this high level of
construction in an oriental sword for such a low
price.
Most of the Paul Chen Samurai swords are forged using a
traditional construction method called
“differential tempering”. This means that the Ha
or the edge of the blade is of a different
hardness thank the Mune or back of the blade. So
why is that important in a samurai sword? This
is what separates Paul Chen battle ready Samurai swords
and Japanese Swords from many swords. In plain English it means that
the blade is more flexible than if this method
was not used to forge the blade. A good samurai
sword must have some flexibility to it or it
will break in battle. Differential tempering
makes it almost impossible for the Paul Chen
swords to break. These Japanese Swords are 2nd to none.
The second reason why the Paul Chen Samurai swords are
so popular with most of the Samurai swords except a few,
the sword parts are authentic. For instance,
many of the swords like the Shinto Katana
feature premium Japanese cotton for the
tsuka-ito. It’s very difficult to find a samurai
sword with authentic fittings and parts at such
a good price.
Another reason you should consider a Paul Chen
samurai sword is because of the light weight. Most of
the battle ready Samurai swords weigh less than 2 lbs. A
light weight sword gives the martial artist the
ability to move faster with better precision
because he has a sword of superb quality and
light weight. Many other Samurai swords and Japanese Swords that are
supposed to be comparable to Paul Chen swords
weigh in excess of 3 lbs. You might not think
that 1 lb can be that much of a difference for
the artist but it really is in a Japanese Sword.
If you are in the market for a battle ready
samurai sword a Paul Chen sword should be one of
your first considerations. One of the most
popular is definitely the Paul Chen Golden
Oriole Katana. Weather you want a sword for dojo
exercises or just to hang on the wall, you can’t
go wrong with a Paul Chen sword, a sword that
will last you a lifetime.

Tanto Samurai Swords: Decorative or Battle Ready |
|
Here are a few qualities to look for in a
quality tanto sword. We suggest battle ready
Samurai swords over wall hangers. Why, because the
quality will always be better on a battle ready
tanto sword than one that’s just for show. If a
sword is to be used to cutting exercises it
absolutely has have a blade that is full tang
and have a blade that is made from high carbon
steel or Sweedish folded steel.
If the blade is not made from at high carbon
forged steel or folded steel then it’s most
likely just stainless steel. Stainless steel is
just fine for most knives but just won’t cut it
(no pun intended) when it comes to a tanto sword
that’s going to be used in the dojo.
Two very popular brands of tanto Samurai swords are Paul
Chen and Cold Steel. Cold Steel, although an
American company has most of their Samurai swords forged
in China by trained smiths. Paul Chen blades are
very popular in American and all over the world
right now. Most of the Paul Chen swords are
forged using a technique called differential
tempering. It means that the back of the blade
is more flexible than the edge of the blade.

Katana Samurai Swords:
Beautify Your Home or Office |
|
Many people buy will buy a katana sword for
decoration but eventually become fascinated with
sword play that they end up signing up for a
martial arts class and make use of their sword.
Among the 3 sizes of traditional samurai swords
the katana has always been the most popular
among collectors and martial artists alike. In
addition to the katana sword there is also the
Wakizashi, or short sword and then the tanto
sword, about the size of a large knife.
When choosing a katana sword there are a few
things to consider when deciding which sword is
right for you? First will this sword be used in
for cutting exercises or for display only? Don’t
think that if you’re wanting to buy a battle
ready sword that it cannot be used for display.
As a matter of fact most people who buy a battle
ready katana sword never do anything but hang it
on their wall. Why would anyone buy a battle
ready sword but never really use it? Simple,
because collectors want a katana sword that’s
high quality and often they like to know that if
they ever wanted to use it for cutting exercises
they could. So if you find a battle ready katana
sword then you’ve also found yourself a sword
that will be a nice display. On the other hand
there are many decorative only katana Samurai swords
that will look very nice in any home or office.
The difference is the amount of money that
you’ll spend and the quality of construction.
If you want a battle ready sword you need to
choose one that has a blade that is made from
high carbon steel or folded steel. Any sword
that has a blade made from stainless steel
should only be for display. Stainless steel
blades are not made to stand up to the rigors of
cutting exercises or combat with other Samurai swords.
Some of the best quality battle ready katana
Samurai swords you can find are forged by Thaitsuki,
Paul Chen and Cold steel.
Among the growing popular of samurai swords are
the Kill Bill Samurai Swords. You can now buy a Kill
Bill Sword just like the ones in the movie.
Although they are not made for cutting exercises
they are sharpened and look exactly like the
actual movie. The most popular are the Kill Bill
Bride's Sword and the Kill Bill Guy's Sword.

selection of Japanese katana Samurai swords to choose
from. Weather you want a katana sword for combat
or just for display we’ve got what you’re
looking for.

Ninja Swords:
What You Need To Know
Before You Purchase |
|
You’d almost have to be living on another planet
to not realize that swords of any kind are
becoming very popular among collectors and even
investors. Ninja swords and other styles of
Chinese weapons are particularly in demand right
now.
There are a few key aspects that you should know
about before you dish out your money, especially
if you plan to buy over the internet.
Unfortunately there are many websites claiming
to that certain swords are battle ready or can
be used for cutting exercises in the dojo and in
many situations that is just not true.
Sometimes you might see a website that features
a ninja sword and the name of the weapon will be
very similar to one of higher quality and will
even look exactly like a better well known
sword. So the unsuspecting buyer thinks he’s
getting this unbelievable that no one else has
found on a certain sword. Unfortunately he/she
learns the hard way that it’s not what he
thought.
If you buy a ninja sword that’s not worthy to be
used for anything but hanging on the wall and
you take it to the dojo serious injury could
result. The main trait of a quality ninja sword
that you need to look for is to be sure that the
blade is forged high carbon steel and preferably
differentially tempered.
Differentially tempered means that the back of
the blade is not as hard as the edge of the
blade. At first some people think that this is
not a positive aspect for a high quality ninja
sword. Differentially tempering is necessary so
that it gives some flexibility to the sword.
Differentially tempering makes the ninja sword
virtually unbreakable. Hopefully this article
has helped you to know the traits to look for
when purchasing your next ninja sword.
At Japanese Swords 4 Samurai we have a large
selection of Ninja Swords swords to choose
from. We've got what you’re
looking for.
You will find a full line of
Ninja Swords and Ninja Weapons at our store, many of which
are battle ready sharpened swords. You can
