Hanwei Dark Sentinel QUALITY?

Hanwei Dark Sentinel

QUESTION: Have you ever seen/used/heard anything about the Hanwei Dark Sentinel sword. I have seen it at several places and am considering buying it. I just wondered if you have an opinion on the sword? Most descriptions say it is Forged High Carbon Steel, but I have yet to find anything on the tang or how it was heat treated (I currently am waiting that info from the manufacturer). Any info would be great...thank.

ANSWER: Yes indeed, I have two reviews that will be going up on the main site for this particular piece - likely within the next couple of weeks.

Suffice it to say, it is a VERY resiliant blade and is extremely good value for money. Both reviews are overwhelmingly positive, especially considering the price point, and it is extremely durable.

Full reviews coming to SBG VERY SOON! ^_^

Best,

Hanwei Dark Sentinel Katana
by: L. Fuller

I purchased the Hanwei Dark Sentinel a few years ago for a friend from a retailer in my home town. While I was told the same that the inquirer here was told about the blade, I never inquired further for verification. I will agree though that the blade is very resilient. My friend used it primarily to clear his land of bamboo that varied in diameter from a 1/4" to over 2". He spent 3 days and when he was done, the blade still retained its sharpness and no damage was seen on the blade (nicks or indentations). Very good blade.
