LK Chen Batwing Han Sha Review 正楷蝙蝠漢鎩評測

This is a video review of the LK Chen Batwing Han Sha. The Sha is a swordstaff with a guard. They were predominantly used during China's Han dynasty. The Batwing Han Sha is a special type of Sha with a guard that has a batlike shape. In my review, I talk about the history of the Sha, the build quality of LK Chen's reproduction, and I also do some test cutting.
