Product Description
This is a sword that offers the best quality and price that other models simply cannot match! Measuring 40 1/2", this katana features a 29 1/4" blade constructed from 1055 carbon steel. The ray skin covered handle is traditionally wrapped with black braid cord and offers eye catching brass menuki. This katana includes a black lacquered wood sheath and blue violet cover bag. You will not find a sword of this caliber and at this price anywhere! Cold Steel, 88BKW.
I bought one of these years ago and it was one of my first katana if not the first. Hard to remember if it was my first one. Anyways, it is built tough and strong. Cold steel tempers there swords until they have a spring like temper giving them great flexibility to prevent breakage. Sword is well worth the price. Other swords made strong for cheaper price will get bends from hard hitting. Cold steels flexibility stops it from having bends.

Best of a sword!
This Cold Steel blade is amazing, stunning and extremely durable. Check out csknives on YouTube, find the "Warriors Cold Steel Katana" video, it proves just how strong the blade is and how sharp it is. It would fit any situation, maybe an apocalypse (zombie apocalypse of course), this thing will slash and dice zombie after zombie, after zombie, after zombie, after zombie, after zombie. I extremely recommend this to anyone looking forward to the apocalypse.

a very decent sword for training. not really a show piece but can be. I would recommend buying the imperial version; a lot more detail and shined blade.

I ordered this sword about a year ago and out of the dozens that I own it is completely unrivaled. The blade is absolutely beautiful, in a deadly sort of way, as it is sharp enough to cut a piece of paper drifting to the ground clean in half with no effort as well as the durability and hardness to cut into the hardest wood and rock (Though I wouldn't encourage either. Doing so would destroy the toughest of blades.) Due to the hundreds of hours I have put it through however, I have disturbed the beautifully and comfortably wrapped handle, and it's only prone weakness is to unravel at one of the intricately tied knots where the wrap meets the pommel. I am still enthralled with this blade to this day and recommend it to anyone wishing to have an heirloom quality katana that is practically indistinguishable from the legendary swords that were used in Japan.

This sword is EXTREAMLY well made. Deffinately my most durable sword. The blade is VERY wide. It's easily my heaviest sword, but when you feel like you can take down a brick wall it's worth it. (I Do not advise trying to take down a brick wall. That's just silly)
