It must also be mentioned that CAS/Hanwei swords are getting to be quite scarce right now, as it has been over a year since the factory fire. There is still no word on when full production will return. Availability inquiries are welcome, and I'll do my best to supply you with the swords and weapons you require.

All of these listings can most easily be found linked on the Daily Updates, Recent Additions, and Featured Items catalog page - http://www.therionarms.com/reenact/index.shtml
