Now introducing, the Raptor Series, a new line brought to you by Paul Chen Hanwei, which is a series of cutting Katana Swords. These have been designed for Samurai Sword enthusiasts, and collectors of finely designed Samurai Swords who practice cutting but do not necessarily have access to traditional cutting mats. With this Functional Sword one is able to further practice and perfect his or her cutting technique. The blade of the Raptor Katana Unokubi-Zukuri Sword is hand forged 5160 high carbon steel, and is specifically heat treated to produce a very high resilience and greater tolerance to misdirected cuts, than a conventionally differentially tempered blade. The edge geometry is configured to facilitate the cutting of both soft and semi hard materials without chipping, allowing the user a wider range of targets.

The Paul Chen Raptor Unokubi-Zukuri (Cormorants Neck) blade design is patterned after the shape of the Naginata, the powerful long-handled weapon popular between the 12th and 14th centuries. Notable for the strongly relieved shinogi-ji and diamond-shaped kissaki, the Paul Chen Raptor Unokubi-Zukuri provides excellent balance in a strong cutting blade.
