Designed with a practical, battle-ready finish, it’s ideal for training and cutting practice. The handle combines traditional ray skin and black silk cord for a secure grip, complemented by an elegant brass Menuki detail. Weighing 5.4 pounds and paired with a black lacquered wood scabbard, this katana balances performance and style for martial arts enthusiasts seeking serious training gear. ## Description Since their initial introduction, Cold Steel's Emperor Series swords have proven to be 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. Our Warrior Series addresses this problem directly. The Warrior Series swords share the same high-performance 1060 steel, heat treatment, and sharpness as their Emperor counterparts, but we have omitted their expensive mirror polishing in favor of a more practical finish. This makes the Warrior Series a perfect choice for training and perfecting cutting techniques (Tameshigiri) without damaging or tarnishing the blade. Review: Requires strength not height or necessarily size. - It's nice and worth the value. Don't pay attention to any dumbos here that mention height, as in if you are shorter it's too much blade for you!! It's not height that's matters at all its strength specifically wrist and arm. Last I checked the guys winning arm wrestling contests weren't all 6'5". Anyway it is cool but very heavy so I think it's great for training and I was a pro trainer focusing on size and strength so if you buy this you better start working your hand strength and I mean all your digits as well and full forearms. But you'll need strength everywhere. I would add the exact weight if I knew it. Comes sharp not extra sharp, and much less than razor which is not needed for a sword extra would be nice though but I bought knowing this. Sure if you are that Battista guy from Guardians of the Galaxy probably you're all set with all the strength reqs. But one of those bony actors that are 6 ft will insure themselves for sure playing with this sword. I'm happy with it. Review: Serious quality control concerns. - Let me start by saying I bought this sword with the intention of changing out a lot of the parts to customize it, so its basic construction wasn't of particular concern to me. That said, I will review the build for people who are concerned with the basic model. The good: -The blade is straight and strong, and I'm sure it'll hold a fine edge once I've polished it. The curve and grind are great. (This model does not come polished. It's meant to be a budget option, and I intended to polish it myself.) The Bad: -The sword is definitely budget quality. It will cut, but it's not $500 worth of sharp. -The tsuka ito (handle wrapping) started to slip and the diamond folds began to expand and separate after swinging it a single time, so you'll need to take great care not to tear it apart just by using it. The Ugly: I noticed the handle was bulging once I started to deconstruct it, and found that under the ray skin there's a gnarly crack. I figured I would just glue it together, but it went straight through to the tang. THIS IS UNSALVIGABLE. I'm going to have to replace the unusually long 12" tsuka entirely. I suspect this would be a catastrophic defect for anyone who isn't ready to fix it, or even identify it. !!!It might even be unsafe considering this is supposed to be a fully functional sword!!! There are things I like, but mostly because all I really care about is the sword blank and the sheath, but I cannot recommend the purchase. For the price you're better off buying something else. ## Features - BEAUTIFUL AND PRACTICAL: The Warrior Series swords share the same materials and performance as their Emperor Series counterparts, but with more battle-ready, practical finishes excellent for training and perfecting cutting techniques - TOUGH, HIGH-PERFORMANCE BLADE: This battle-ready sword features a fully sharpened 1060 carbon steel blade that has been expertly heat treated to a tough spring temper to stand up to just about anything you can throw at it - COMFORTABLE AND SECURE GRIP: The hilt is covered in ray skin and wrapped in the traditional style with black silk cord for a comfortable and secure grip - ELEGANT DETAILS: A beautiful brass Menuki (a small, ornamental sculpture inserted between the ray skin and the cord wrappings) further enhances the handle appearance - SPECIFICATIONS: Weight - 48 ounces, Blade Length - 36 inches, Handle Length - 13 inches, Overall Length - 49 inches; Includes black lacquered wood scabbard ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000HMFXGW | | Best Sellers Rank | #281,171 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #415 in Martial Arts Swords | | Blade Length | 36 Inches | | Blade Material | High Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Steel | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 44 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442005315 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Ray Skin | | Included Components | Scabbard, Sword | | Item Dimensions L x W | 1"L x 1"W | | Item Type Name | Warrior Series Katana | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Manufacturer Part Number | 88BOK | | Model Number | WRRSRS | | Product Dimensions | 1"L x 1"W | | Product Style | Warrior Series Katana | | Style | Warrior Series Katana | | UPC | 705442005315 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 36 Inches - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Handle Material:** Ray Skin - **Style:** Warrior Series Katana ## Images ![Cold Steel Warrior Series Katana - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l14Ndi0mL.jpg) ![Cold Steel Warrior Series Katana - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G-J3WBlfL.jpg) ![Cold Steel Warrior Series Katana - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-WpvoPJNL.jpg) ![Cold Steel Warrior Series Katana - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DtryD+GvL.jpg) ![Cold Steel Warrior Series Katana - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-FuoqwMxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Material Type, Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is it very sharp** A: No, the answer is 100% NO, it comes "sharp" but you asked "very sharp" which it 100% is not very sharp. I could write a paragraph about this topic, stay away from anyone that tells you, "duh, well, umm, it's not razor sharp." if to them sharp is razor like one level they are not who you should be taking advice from there are arguably 3 to 5 levels of sharpness/honed starting from "sharp", I'm not including dull or less than sharp, this is sharp, very sharp would be the next level, razor sharp which applies to razor would be one or two level past sword "very sharp". Sorry I don't have the link handy that explains this very well, there was a Ken Onion documented piece on this not pertaining to swords though but to knives which, when speaking of sharpness is similar.I own it by the way, it's fricken long and heavy as hell but last I checked I'm not dueling Tom Cruise tomorrow with his light agile sword so I like it long and heavy, great practice. **Q: So cold steel was made in china too?** A: India I believe. **Q: does it have an O kissaki** A: Not as large as most **Q: what type steel is used?** A: The Cold Steel website states that it is 1060. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Requires strength not height or necessarily size. *by J***I on November 25, 2014* It's nice and worth the value.
