The original Beile (Lord in Manchu), also known as the "Banner Lords" and "Iron- Capped Princes" were the sons of Nurgaci, founder of Qing Dynasty. After his death the Beile Hong Taiji was selected as Khan.
Our Beile Dao commemorates this prince. Its beautifully detailed Iron furniture complements the patterning of the Damascus blade and the rayskin covered scabbard adds to the rugged richness of the sword.

Sparring Jian by Scott Rodell
Blunt Steel Sparring Jian designed by Scott M. Rodell
Traditionally Chinese Martial Artists have used wooden "wasters" during sparring practice to inform their training and perfect their technique. While these wasters are generally safe, they have serious limitations for learning how swords actually behave during sparring. Hanwei's Sparring Jian was designed by Scott Rodell to handle as closely as possible to sharp jian while providing rounded edges and safe flex during a thrust. Comes with blunted edges and a rolled tip.

Chinese Pudao
The Chinese Pudao, originally an infantry weapon, has been adopted into the martial arts and its use in the hands of a skilled practitioner is spectacular. This weapon is also known as a horse-cutter sword since it was used to slice the legs out from under a horse during battle. Our Pudao (SH2072) is a weapon to be coveted by the infantry of old and modern martial artists alike.

The high-carbon tempered steel blade has an aggressive distal taper to promote quickness and balance and a long tang for strength, while the oak staff is tightly wrapped in a traditional pattern to optimize handling and adds to the distinctive appearance, as do the dragon-head bronzed steel blade collar and bell tassel.
