Cold Steel has been having great success with the Imperial Series Japanese swords including the Katana. They decided to make a less expensive version without the extensive hand polishing of the blade. The Warrior Series swords are the same quality without such expensive polishing. They're a great value especially for someone who plans to use the sword and do some cutting, which would likely mess up the bright polishing anyway.
The Warrior series swords are very nicely made. They share the same steel, heat treatment, and sharpness as their more expensive Imperial series counterparts. They have the same samé covered and cord wrapped handles along with quality fittings. They are strong, good looking, and reasonably priced. A black lacquered scabbard and a blue violet cover bag is included.
Each sword comes fully sharpened and battle ready and we're sure you will be pleased with its fantastic fit and finish.
