Oh, yes, my yataghan was most of the way apart before those photos.
So what, right?
Cheers

Let me explain something about the framed tangs. The frames are anything but structural. My own yataghan has a tang less than half an inch wide and barely reaches anywhere near the bulbous ears. The frame is horn with strips of sheet metal glued to horn. *pics* The CS Persian and "breakable" Windlass were closer to reality than these full tangs. Fittings aside. I made a simple observation and stand by it. Cheers GC Oh, sure, no argument there! What I said was that this looks less anachronistic - even ignoring the existence of at least a few actual historical swords of this type that do have full profile tangs. I have no idea how these Hanweis handle, though, so couldn't really speak to that aspect. All I know is how they look in the linked photos, and aside from the atypical hilt construction (if it actually is full slab tang; given the width of the grip, the shoulders must be absolutely minuscule) I think they look just plain better and closer to historical items than the currently most popular production shamshirs. |

Yes, which is why I'm fine calling these ones shamshir. |

So. Nice long thread and the upshot is ... neither of the questions I made it for knowledgeably answered.
No one has empirically handled one. No one knows why the model appears in limited supply only on a particular couple sites, and whether it's because it's discontinued or a quirk of who Hanwei will supply.

Actually, if you run the number above, there are several more European sites listing stock. The number is not a typical number. SUG140501 actually brings up hanweimetal.com but won't let me in. A facebook page with a better look at the tang m.facebook.com/galu.tw/posts/1020414094652821I guess if you already know all that, any response has been a waste of all our time. Cheers GC |

In other words, probably not discontinued but not yet as widely distributed.
The celticmerchant site and others have some reviews.

Yet, the number is shown on the battlemerchant page that you linked in your opening post.
Not a big deal but when I am even a little curious, I dig a little bit,
You are welcome.
Cheers

Since I just got one, would like to share some comparison pictures and plus and minus points. Plus ; Distill tapering , blade curvature ![]() ![]() , better handling and feel minus; somewhat ugly compared to the coldsteel one, dimensions like handle size and blade width seem odd, price Attachments:

Is the point of balance out at 8.5", as advertised on the Hanwei website? |
