Cold Steel Imperial Katana
Cold Steel has used only traditional materials for
our Japanese sword's fittings. The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi
(collar), and Kashira (pommel), are expertly made and
finely crafted in nickel-silver brass. The Habaki
(blade collar) is hand made out of nickel-silver brass
and each hilt is covered in Same' (ray skin) and tightly
wrapped in the traditional style with black silk cord. A
beautiful Menuki (a small ornamental sculpture inserted
between the ray skin and the cord wrappings on the
handle) enhances the sword's aesthetic appearance and
makes for a sword that is as traditional looking as we
can possibly make it. It features a fully sharpened 1055 carbon steel blade,
heat treated to a spring temper. The blade surface
is then given a careful polish by hand, with a
distinctive mirror polish applied to the fuller (blood
groove). Comes with a black lacquered saya and a
blue-violet cover bag.
