The Paul Chen Three Monkey Katana tells a little story of the �Three Wise Monkeys� which is a popular symbol of the �See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil� proverb popular in many cultures around the world. The proverb itself is thought to have originated in China and was brought to Japan by a Buddhist monk, while the association with three monkeys appears to be a Japanese play on words. The Hanwei Three Monkey Katana (SH2329) and Wakizashi (SH2330) are built on traditional Shinogi Zukuri style blades with Bo-Hi to reduce weight and improve balance. The high-carbon blade is hand forged and differentially hardened. The blackened iron Tsuba features the �Three Wise Monkeys� in relief.
