The Japanese swords of the Imperial Series have
proven, since their initial introduction, to be
quite popular with many of our customers. Still,
we are aware that there are some people who want
a battle ready sword but hope to find one at a
more affordable price. Cold Steel's new Warrior
Series addresses this problem directly. In their
efforts to reduce the costliness of the blades,
they have omitted the expensive mirror polishing
that was used on the Imperial swords to create
this series of Japanese swords with a more practical
finish.
The
Warrior Series swords are very handsome in their
own right and share the same steel, heat treatment,
and sharpness as their more expensive Imperial
counterparts. Like the Imperial swords, they have
Samé covered, cord wrapped handles and
quality fittings.
The
tanto was a dagger-type weapon carried by Japanese
samurai, especially on the battlefield. It was
a very effective weapon and was highly useful
for stabbing or as a sidearm. This superb model
of a Japanese tanto measures 19 1/4" overall
and features a 13 1/4" blade crafted from
1055 carbon steel. It is well appointed with a
6" handle wrapped with ray skin and traditionally
adorned with black braid cord and brass menuki.
This functional weapon includes a black lacquered
wood sheath and blue violet cover bag.
