The Cold Steel Gold Lion Katana represents a Samurai’S “Every Day Carry Sword” For Personal Protection, And The Defense Of His Lord, His Family And His Home. Significantly Lighter Than Some Of Our Other heavier-Duty Katana, 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.
