Cold Steel has used 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 Samé (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 looking as we can
possibly make it. All come
complete with a BLACK LACQUERED
SCABBARD and a BLUE/VIOLET COVER
BAG. Feature fully sharpened
1050 carbon steel blades, each
heat treated to a spring temper.
The blade surface is then given
a careful polish by hand, with a
distinctive mirror polish
applied to the fuller (blood
groove). 29 3/8" blade, 40 3/4"
overall
