Description

The Cold Steel CS88DEC Double Edge Katana is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail. This exquisite Japanese sword showcases Cold Steel’s commitment to using only the finest materials for its fittings. The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel) are meticulously crafted in nickel-silver brass, reflecting the brand’s dedication to authenticity. The Habaki, a hand-made blade collar, is also crafted from nickel-silver brass, adding to the overall elegance of the sword. The hilt is wrapped in Samé (ray skin) and tightly bound in the traditional style with black silk cord. A beautiful Menuki, a small ornamental sculpture inserted between the ray skin and cord wrappings on the handle, enhances the sword’s aesthetic appeal, creating a traditional and visually stunning piece. Featuring a fully sharpened 1055 carbon steel blade, each heat-treated to a spring temper, this katana boasts exceptional quality. The blade undergoes careful hand polishing, with a distinctive mirror polish applied to the fuller (blood groove). The sword is accompanied by a black lacquered wood scabbard and a blue-violet cover bag, adding to its allure.
