Imperial Series Double-edged Katana (88DEC)
Cold Steel uses only traditional materials
for their Japanese sword's fittings. The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and
Kashira (pommel), are expertly made and finely crafted from black iron. The
Habaki (blade collar), is hand made out of polished brass and each hilt is
covered in Same'(ray skin) and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with
black cord. A beautiful brass 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 as
possible.
This sword is unique in that it has a double edge; both sides of the blade are sharp.
