This sword is specially designed for the warrior of today! This katana offers a thicker, wider, and heavier blade than that of the traditional katana designed for a smaller body than is normal in the modern era. Measuring 41 1/2" overall, this sword features a 29 1/2" blade crafted from 1055 carbon steel. The carefully hand polished blade is designed with a blood groove that has a distinctive mirror polish applied to it. The hilt is covered in black ray skin and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with teal-green silk braid cord. The guard and pommel are crafted in black iron and bear the dragonfly motif. This katana includes a black lacquered wood scabbard, a blue travel bag, and an intricately decorative display bag that is made from the finest heavy silk metallic brocade. This is a top quality sword that combines traditional design with modern appreciation! Cold Steel, 88DK.
- Monday, March 16, 2009 dragonfly katana Reviewed By: Ryan (port huron, michigan) I bought this blade myself back in 2005. It took me a long time to find a sword worth buying. I have not regretted my decision one bit after buying this sword. It is the sharpest, sleekest, and strongest sword i own or have ever come across. The blade is perfectly polished, sharpened, and straight. the handle has not loosened in the least bit. the decorative bag is still in perfect condition.
