I have read the review of the Hanwei Practical Saber, and I was wondering if all the versions of this Hanwei saber have the split in the top of the scabbard??

If you're talking about the Hanwei practical kung fu sword that Paul Southren reviewed then yes all of them are designed to have a slotted opening. I personally don't see the point in it...

There are three Hanwei broadswords: the Practical that Paul reviewed, the super flexy Water Song wushu (red version) which isn't suitable for cutting, and the one called the Chinese Broadsword (reviewed by Jay here: /index.cgi?action=display&board=swordreviews&thread=1192926181&page=1). The Practical and Water Song both have the slotted scabbard, while the last one has a more traditional fully-enclosed scabbard.  |

I find that if I attach a split ring(for keys) to the two rings that are on the scabbard, it feels very secure. I have it on a double ring belt for wear. Quite a nice combo, especially with carpenters pants.(when sticking the lower part of the scabbard through the hammer holder)

Oh, you do have to be careful when sheathing, though, because if you're not, you'll bang the tip of the blade on the end of the split. You sorta have to angle it in.
