Cold Steel Emperor Series Wakizashi Sword 21" 1055 Carbon Steel Blade Silk Cord Handle Black

The Cold Steel Emperor Series Wakazashi features an Habaki (blade collar) that is hand made out of nickel-silver brass and each hilt is covered in SamA (ray skin) and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with black silk cord. A beautiful 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. The Wakazashi blade is made with 1055 carbon steel, and 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.
