In this video, I review the Hanwei's Practical Gongfu Broadsword. How historical is its design? How is its performance? Is getting this blade right for you? Watch the video to find out!

Hanwei's original listing for the blade can be found here: casiberia.com/product/practical-gongfu-broadsword/sh2063

However, I recommend purchasing the blade for a cheaper price at a reseller

Special thanks to Sifu Jeremy Thomas for allowing me to borrow his blade for this video! His channel can be found here: youtube.com/user/Guitarsamurai1134
