We all know the importance of a name. This is why many katana swords are named what they are. It is a symbol of respect, or sometimes, to just show from which period the design came from or what it was influenced by. Many people believe that the soul of the Samurai lives in the blade. This is all the more reason to take special care when naming a sword.
So, let's take a look at a wonderful group of swords brought to us by none other then Paul Chen. The Raptor designs area all based off of some historically important periods where forging technology and designs were really improving. The Raptor lines focused around making a very versatile, wide ranged sword line and that is what was accomplished. These Raptor swords can be used for a wide choice of targets rather then just mats. Hanwei Paul Chen has given careful thought to the way they name their swords and we should always remember that when we are choosing the sword that best fits us. We will look at each sword in the Raptor Series much closer in the next few blogs to come.

Who is Hanwei Paul Chen?
SamuraiSupply.com would like to give you a brief overview of just who Hanwei Paul Chen is because the Hanwei Paul Chen Swords are very popular and very much in demand. Who makes these amazing swords? Where did they get started? Where did they come from?
Hanwei started with a man by the name of Paul Chen. Paul was born and raised in Taiwan and while he was young Paul developed a passion for knives and swords. Paul especially loved Samurai Swords and his passion for them grew strong.
There was a high cost for custom made pieces and antiques so Paul pursued an education into the making of knives and swords and he started to perfect his custom designs. He gained a very good reputation because of his unique designs and is quite successful.
When the demand for swords began to take off, he moved to Dailan, China which is known as the "steel city". He decided to become a manufacturer and he was able to employ many talented workers to bring the designs he created to life.
Hanwei employs over one hundred employees that produce over six hundred items in the sword, knife and weaponry fields. They are always developing new products and coming up with new concepts which keeps them the leader in their field.
Paul Chen's son, Ron Chen has now followed in his fathers footsteps and has studied under the Japanese legend Yoshindo Yoshihara. Ron Chen is responsible for the Tamahagane and the Banitie blades that are being developed by Hanwei and are very popular with sword collectors. There are many great things in store for Hanwei Paul Chen and we are looking forward to adding more of their new swords in our store so that we can bring them to you!
