Perfomance-Swords

All of Imperial Forge's Japanese swords are hand made with the highest standards, giving you the utmost feel of quality, durability, and strength. It is the goal of the Imperial Forge to exceed the expectations of martial artists for strength, cutting power, and most importantly, craftsmanship. Their blades are individually hand forged with a hand held hammer, clay tempered, heat treated, quenched and then polished by skilled hands creating a true battle ready sword.

Tamahagane
Bainite
|
Through painstaking research and experimentation, Hanwei is now making its own Tamahagane steel by the traditional method, smelting iron sand in a Tatara furnace. The result is our Paper Crane daisho.
L6 tool steel, when subjected to an exacting heat treatment process, produces a blade with an unparalleled combination of strength and flexibility. Hanwei’s ability to control this process has produced two all-new katana using this L6/Bainite blade, the Oni and Praying Mantis.

Iaito have long been the preferred training tools for safe practice of the many Japanese sword drawing arts typically known as Iaido.

Pole Arms
Naginata
Yari |
The Yari was an essential battlefield weapon of the Samurai and took great skill to use and maneuver due to its length and size. We now have two Yari designs, both based on originals dating to feudal Japan. The Naginata, famed weapon of the Sohei, or warrior monks, of medieval Japan was fearsome in the hands of a skilled combatant and is today of great importance in the martial arts field. |
