Cold Steel 88BKW Katana for Individuals

The Cold Steel Warrior Series swords have proven to be a popular choice among many of our customers since their initial introduction. However, we are aware that there are individuals who desire a battle-ready sword but hope to find one at a more affordable price. The Warrior Series was developed to address this need directly.

The Warrior Series swords share the same high-performance 1060 steel, heat treatment, and sharpness as their more expensive Emperor counterparts. However, the company has opted to forgo the costly mirror polishing in favor of a more practical finish. This makes the Warrior Series an ideal choice for training and perfecting cutting techniques (Tameshigiri) without damaging or tarnishing the blade.

The Warrior Series swords boast intricate, Japanese warrior-inspired detail work that is truly impressive. Crafted with the same dedication to quality as the Emperor Series, these blades feature delicate designs and durable construction. The swords are equipped with Samé-covered, cord-wrapped handles and quality fittings, and come complete with a black lacquered scabbard and a soft blue cover bag.

Specifications: - 29.25-inch 1055 carbon steel blade - 0.3125-inch blade thickness - 11.25-inch Samé (ray skin) black braid cord handle with brass Menuki - 40.5-inch overall length - 41.4-ounce weight - Includes a black lacquered wood scabbard
