Keeping with our promise for upgrades and advancement, the crisp and clean new look of the furniture (tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki) comes from the new tooling of this classic design that will remind you of the early originals. Still featuring the blade geometry of the differentially hardened and forged 1566 forge steel blade of the original.
The CAS Hanwei Performance Series is a standard in the Japanese sword market. Being the go-to cutting katana for practitioners, our newly updated Performance Series katana continue to out rank the competition within their niche in the sword world with their consistency and reliability of quality and cutting execution. Highly imitated but never truly replicated, you can purchase with confidence in the CAS Hanwei brand swords with our over four decades of knowledge and expertise in manufacturing.
The PSK XL Katana remains the standard for being designed for maximum cutting power in heavy targets. Keeping the furniture of the Practical Katana and the low maintenance synthetic tsuka components, the XL blade geometry allows for not only cutting straw bamboo mats but properly prepared thick bamboo targets. The 1566 steel and differentially hardened in the traditional manner, producing an edge hardness of HRC60 and spine hardness of HRC40. Cut with confidence with the PSK XL Katana.
In 2025, the PSK Raimie XL Katana was added to the Performance Series XL selection for those who wanted a heavy cutter with little more beauty.
Made formerly at the legendary Hanwei forge that closed in 2024, the famed artisans of Dalian at the Dragon King forge take the mantle of this legendary brand. Former protégé of Paul Chen and original engineer of the manufacturing of the Hanwei brand, Frenchie Jin knows these swords better than anyone else as he was a part or their original conception at the original Hanwei Metal Factory. The CAS Hanwei brand couldn’t be in better manufacturing hands for the future.

Habe am 3.12.2009 mein Xl Katana bekommen. Wie immer sauber verpackt geliefert, das Katana ist eine Wucht, schön verarbeitet und poliert, die Breite der Klinge ist sehenswert, die Schnitte gehen wie Butter, doch sollten nur Matten verwendet werden, da dieses Katana Superscharf ist, der Rand daher dünn und anfällig für Chipping bei schweren Zielen. Die Tsuka-Maki einfach und mit künstlicher Rochenhaut, dennoch ansehlich und straff gewickelt ebenso gut in der Hand liegend, eine schöne und solide Fertigung!

I like this katana. It's simple and built like a tank! The saya is also very well done with a good looking black finish.
