Mr. Chen, the founder of HanWei [originating in Taiwan], now retired, unsatisfied with the Chinese steels developed his own steel formula and production facility. His son studied for at least three years in Japan as an apprentice to the man considered to be the finest swordsmith in the country.

The Hanwei sword I am holding is an exact replica of a custom sword made for a Colonel during WW II. Most of the Samurai swords produced for the military of the day were mass produced and of a much lower standard. The handle wrap is brown as that is the color for a colonel, differing ranks having different colors.

"Quick Steel" could be the name for your HanWei sword. Thanks for posting. Do you have a picture showing entire sword ?

The stone fences must be from at least 100 years of rock picking, maybe even 1000 years as more rocks keep showing up.
Are those air rifles ? shooting a .177 caliber pellet ?
How come no picture of your dog ? if in U.K., ya gotta have a dog.

A few weeks back knife-nut and his friend Dennis came over to talk and show knives.It was great to meet knife-nut and Dennis. They brought knives with them I'd never had seen in real life before. I was overwhelmed. Looking at and holding knives I'd only heard of or seen in pictures was a real treat. I had a good time talking knives and enjoying the the knives they brought with them. Only had one pic turn out. Dont know what happened. Guess I could have taken more pics. This is Knife-Nut and some of the knives he brought with him.
