Cold Steel Dragonfly Katana

Dragonfly Katana
Many of the Japanese swords offered today are interpretive copies of antiques from feudal Japan that were made for short warriors who rarely stood above five and a half feet. As beautiful and skillfully designed as these swords are, they may not be perfectly suited for the modern warrior, who has grown into a much taller and stronger version of his historical counterpart!

With this in mind, Cold Steel® created the Dragonfly series, a line of Japanese swords with thicker, wider and heavier blades. These beautiful swords have a distinctive blue-green silk sheath and black samé (rye leather) hilts, complemented by rich iron parts with a dragonfly motif. Their deeply curved and hand polished 1060 high carbon steel blades end in a long iris tip for maximum cutting potential.
