Functional Katana O
The Cold Steel factory has used only traditional materials for their Japanese Katana sword 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 swords aesthetic appearance and makes for a sword that is as traditional looking as we can possibly make it.
It features a fully sharpened 1050 carbon steel blade, heat treated to a spring temper. This battle-ready sword is an exquisite example of the swordmaking art.
