Cold Steel Gold Lion Katana Sword (30.0 Inch Damascus Blade) Ray Skin Handle + Black Lacquered Wood Scabbard 88ABK

CS88ABK: 88ABK Gold Lion Katana Sword
Cold Steel

The Cold Steel Gold Lion Katana represents a Samurais every day carry sword for personal protection, and the defense of his Lord, his family and his home. Significantly lighter than some of the other Cold Steel other heavier-duty Katanas, it is not only faster in-hand, but easier and more comfortable to carry when tucked into an Obi and worn all day.

The Katana’s Menuki bears the symbol of the Japanese Shisa (Lion Dog) a guardian or protector - a fitting motif for this beautiful lightweight sword.

Measuring just under thirty inches, the Gold Lion Katana's blade is made from expertly hand honed and highly polished Damascus steel, with a Hamaguri grind, peaked Iori Mune spine and undulating clay-tempered Hamon.

The black iron Tsuba, Fuchi and Kashira all have gleaming 24 carat gold leaf accents and the handle features white ray-skin and a black silk cord wrap.
