Hanwei's own high alloy steel formulations (HWS-1S and HWS-2S) make for some tough swords (not to mention jaw-dropping hamons).
The fittings feature a bamboo-themed black iron tsuba, textured in a bamboo mat design with a jointed bamboo rim and highlighted with gold-tipped bamboo leaves. The fuchi/kashira follow the same theme and the golden menuki feature a pair of sparrows. The saya is finished in high-gloss lacquer with horn fittings.
