Cold Steel Mizutori (Crane) Wakizashi

Mizutori® (CRANE) Wakizashi
The crane is a symbol of luck and longevity, loyalty and strength, and is a very popular symbol in Japan. While developing the new Katana as an addition to the long-standing and world-renowned line of Japanese blades, Cold Steel® saw fit to add cranes as a motif.

The Mizutori® (Crane) Wakizashi is the ultimate high-performance blade inspired by older, practical battlefield katanas. The Mizutori® blade is made of high quality 1095 high carbon steel and tempered with Hamon clay tempered. The handsome blade has a hand-sharpened Hamaguri grind with a highly polished spine. Both the Tsuba and Menuki feature the iconic crane motif, and the high-quality rye leather handle is tightly wrapped with brown silk ribbon, adding a level of detail and beauty that you have to see to believe.
The blade is housed inside a shiny black lacquered Saya,

Katana also available under the number 88CKK for the daisho set
