The Paul Chen Orchid set is as quick as it is beautiful with a relatively light blade of folded
K120C and striking koshirae. The hamon is prominent and the hada shows distinct layers.
High quality ray skin (same) is used on the tsuka, and the tsuka-ito and sageo on all three pieces
are woven from premium Japanese cotton. The tsuba of the katana and wakizashi is of blackened
iron, with an Orchid and Butterfly decoration inlaid in silver, brass and copper. The saya are
deeply lacquered in blue with buffalo horn koiguchi and kurikata.
The fuchi, kashira and kojiri are of bronzed iron with silver and gold detailing. The habaki is of
one-piece brass construction. The katana and wakizashi feature a medium-length (chu) kissaki. See
Models XC-8021HS and XC-9021HS for the Wakizashi and Tanto details.
