The
classic Japanese battle sword in all its incarnations has been
celebrated for centuries, not only for its elegant lines and simple
beauty, but also for the technique and skill that went into its
construction. Most swords offered today are interpretive copies of
antiquities from feudal Japan. They were made for warrior's of small
stature who seldom rose above five and a half feet. As skillfully
designed as these swords are, they may not be perfectly suited for the
twenty first century warrior, who benefited from contemporary advances
in childhood nutrition and healthcare and grew up to be a substantially
taller, stronger, and more athletic version of his historical
counterpart.
As a way
of compensating for this size disparity, Cold Steel has created the
Dragonfly Series. These swords feature thicker, wider and heavier
blades, which mirror our Imperial Series in respect to heat treatment,
polish, quality of furnishings, and attention to detail, but with a few
new departures. Most noticeable are the distinctive teal-green
silk cord-wrap and black samŽ (ray skin) used on the handles and the
black iron furniture that bears the dragonfly motif. Also, the polished
blades are more strongly curved than our Imperial blades and terminate
in a long "iris leaf" point for maximum cutting and slashing
potential. Additionally, these swords come with two protective bags.
There is a blue cotton travel bag and an intricately decorative display
bag that's made from the finest heavy silk metallic brocade.
