Banshee Sword
In the shadow of the jungle canopy, a blade whispers its heritage…
Born from the traditions of Southeast Asia, the Banshee Sword draws its inspiration from the Thai Krabi and Burmese Dha, blades that for centuries proved swift, strong, and dependable. With a balance tipped slightly forward, it carries the momentum to slice through dense vegetation, yet remains nimble in hand for quick, precise cuts.
Forged from high-carbon steel and heat-treated for durability, its edge is ready for demanding work while the spiral-wrapped black leather grip ensures confident handling in all conditions. The matte-black wooden scabbard is fitted with side rings, offering multiple carrying styles, and a secure locking mechanism for safety on the move. Whether clearing a path, training in traditional forms, or simply admiring its craftsmanship, the Banshee stands as a modern tribute to centuries-old blade-making mastery.

Militia Templi Dagger
In the chaos of the Crusades, when sword and shield met in the dust of battle, the dagger was a knight’s final safeguard. The Militia Templi Dagger, inspired by the Order of Aviz, echoes the form and function of the blades once carried by warrior-monks in the 12th century. Founded in 1128 with the blessing of Theresa, Countess of Portugal, the Order carried forward the traditions of the Templars, balancing faith with the demands of the battlefield.
Small enough to be worn at the hip, yet strong enough to pierce armor gaps, such daggers were more than weapons—they were indispensable tools, used for cutting rope, preparing meals, or defending one’s life in desperate moments. This historically inspired piece comes with a fitted scabbard, a strong full tang, and a tempered blade worthy of its medieval legacy.

Practical Tanto
Practical Tanto
In the quiet of the dojo, the blade waits. Forged in the tradition of the samurai’s sidearm, the Practical Tanto carries the spirit of centuries-old craftsmanship into the hands of the modern martial artist. Under the direction of Paul Chen, Hanwei’s smiths shape its edge through differential tempering, yielding a hard HRC60 cutting surface with a resilient HRC40 spine. The result is a blade that balances strength and flexibility, ready for the precision of tameshigiri or the discipline of kata.
Its fittings, while modest in ornament, are forged with the singular purpose of enduring the demands of training. Every Practical Tanto bears a prominent temper line—an honest signature of its creation—paired with a fabric storage bag to protect it between sessions. This is not a display piece for idle admiration, but a working blade for those who walk the martial path.

Inspired by swords wielded during the Viking Age, it features traditional hilt styling, a resilient 1065 high-carbon steel blade, and a fuller that improves balance for smooth handling.
The blade is un-edged and un-pointed for safety, with a rounded tip and substantial tang construction—secured in the time-honored way by riveting over the pommel. Its leather-wrapped hardwood grip offers a secure hold during demanding performances.
A weather-resistant scabbard completes the sword, with adjustable belt rings for vertical or horizontal carry. Whether crossing blades in a re-enactment, practicing historical martial arts, or adding an authentic touch to your kit, this piece is ready to meet the demands of history brought to life.
