Dragonfly - Wakazashi
Dragonfly - Wakazashi
Manufacture ID: 88DW
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.
Cold Steel has created the Dragonfly Series - these swords feature thicker, wider and heavier blades, which mirror the Emperor Series in respect to heat treatment, polish, quality of furnishings, and attention to detail, but with a few other departures.
Most noticeable are the distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black same (ray skin) used on the handles and the black iron furniture that bears the Dragonfly motif. Also, the polished blades are more strongly curved that the Emperor blades and terminate in a long "iris leaf" point for maximum cutting and slashing potential.
Additionally, these swords come with two protective bags. These is a blue cotton travel bag and an intricately decorative display bag that's made from the finest heavy silk metallic brocade.
Specifications:
- Blade Length: 22"
- Overall Length: 31 1/2"
- Steel: 1055 Carbon
- Weight: 27.4 oz
- Handle: 9 1/2" Same (Ray Skin) Handle with Teal Green Cord with Brass Menuki
- Scabbard: Black Lacquered Wood Scabbard
Warranty: Cold Steel stands behind their knives 100%. The fixed blade sheath knives have a five-year warranty to the original owner against defects in materials or workmanship. The folding knives are warranted for one year.
