CS88BWW - COLD STEEL - Warrior Series - Wakizashi The Japanese swords of the Imperial Series have proven- since their initial introduction almost five years ago- to be quite popular with many of our customers. Still- we are aware that there are some people who want a battle ready sword but hope to find one at a more affordable price. Our Warrior Series addresses this problem directly. In our efforts to reduce the costliness of the blades- we have omitted the expensive mirror polishing that we used on our Imperial Swords to create a new series of Japanese swords with a more practical finish. The Warrior Series swords are very handsome in their own right and share the same steel- heat treatment- and sharpness as their more expensive Imperial counterparts. Like the Imperial swords- they have Samé covered- cord wrapped handles and quality fittings. If you?re in the market for a strong- good looking- reasonably priced Japanese sword we know you?ll be happy to own one of these. All come complete with a BLACK LACQUERED SCABBARD and a BLUE/VIOLET COVER BAG.
