Product Description

The Praying Mantis is a symbol of cunning and power in Japanese culture and is consequently a highly respected theme in Samurai swords. Built on our new L6/Bainite blade in the Shobu Zukuri style with Bo-Hi, and featuring superb koshirae, the Praying Mantis is a very desirable and functional piece. The subdued green silk ito and deep brown of the lacquered saya provide handsome contrast to the dark copper and golden accents of the tsuba, fuchi and kashira. The stalking mantis lies in wait for his next prey, mirroring the power and grace in this exceptional katana.

CAS Hanwei Praying Mantis Review

This is a beautiful and well made Katana. I am not any sort of historical collector but I do own several Katanas and this is one of the nicer ones that I own. First, this Katana is made from L6 Banite. This is an exceptionally strong yet flexible form of steel. L6 Katanas are virtually indestructible. However, L6 Katanas do not have a Hada. This is the grain seen on folded steel Katanas. If you are looking for a Hada then this is not the sword for you. With that said the furnishings on this Katana are first rate. The tsuka ito (handle wrapping) is a beautiful green and the saya (scabbard) is a very rich dark chocolate brown. The Tsuba (hand guard) is a copper mix with Praying Mantis artwork. This is very cool. One thing to note is that unlike the pictures you will see on the web, the tsuba is pristine not weathered. It will take a while for your tsuba to wear like that. Overall, this is a very nice Katana.

As far as CAS Hanwei goes, I have a number of their blades and they are all beautiful and functional. Recently, I had an issue with one of their blades and they exceeded my expectations in resolving the issue. CAS Hanwei sells great hand made swords and stands behind their products. You can't go wrong.
