Three Monkey Wakizashi - Hanwei Forge - Paul Chen.
The �Three Wise Monkeys� 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. Our Three Monkey Wakizashi is built on a traditional Shinogi Zukuri style blade 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. See model SH2329 for the companion Katana.
