Paul Chen swords are loved by martial artists, enthusiasts, fencers and historical re-enactors alike. Never before had such a fine samurai sword been available at an affordable price. Before CAS Hanwei began to introduce their European reproductions, many of these traditional styles of blades were not as easily available to the public. Consumers would have to pay a lot to get custom made swords if they desired historical or unique styles. Now Paul Chen / CAS Hanwei has well over 600 different swords, knives and accessories that they produce. Their products have developed a strong following with sword enthusiasts over the years, and the craftsmanship established by their founder Paul Chen continues as the company grows.

It has been twenty years since Paul Chen decided to become a full-time manufacturer of knives and swords. His company, CAS Hanwei, has been producing high quality Japanese swords since its formation in 1993. When production by Paul Chen first began, he was making knives and related components for other companies. CAS Hanwei would expand immediately as Paul Chen began training additional sword-makers and offering a wider array of knives and swords to the public.

It was with Samurai swords that Paul Chen would gain notoriety. This would be his first real sword experience and would remain his company's most popular product. Paul Chen swords are high quality and regarded by many as state of the art, yet one would never know it from the price tag. Martial artists all over the world were suddenly able to afford fine weaponry. By the end of the 90s they would be introducing many other swords into their line, such as traditional styles from Europe. They are forged with the same prestige and detail that has made CAS Hanwei and Paul Chen famous.

The company has grown in the last two decades. They have more employees than ever before and offer more products as well. They stay on top of advances in metallurgy and are committed to bringing consumers advancements to improve their blades.
