CAS Hanwei Lion Dog Wakizashi W

The Lion Dog Wakizashi W from CAS Hanwei is a finely appointed Japanese sword by Paul Chen, produced with attention to both blade performance and traditional visual detail. Its O-Kissaki blade is made from Hanwei’s HWS-1S high-alloy steel and displays an impressive O-choji hamon, giving the piece strong collectible appeal as well as a refined display presence. HWS-1S steel is developed through advanced metallurgy and careful control of carbon distribution across the blade section, resulting in a tough, resilient blade with a hard, abrasion-resistant edge. The fittings continue the premium feel, with a black iron Lion-dog themed tsuba, matching fuchi and kashira, and golden peony menuki set into the handle. The saya is equally distinctive, combining a gloss-lacquered ribbed section at the koiguchi and kurikata with a spatter-lacquered finish across the remaining length. Completed with a hand-woven sageo, this wakizashi is a standout CAS Hanwei piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese sword craftsmanship. Sageo colours may vary.
