88K 88K Katana (Emperor Series) SwordThe 88K Emperor Series Katana by Cold Steel is designed to reflect some of the most distinguished traditions of Japanese swordmaking. Built using traditional materials, the Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), Habaki (blade collar) and Kashira (pommel) are painstakingly crafted from nickel silver. The hilt is covered with genuine ray skin, a highly durable material that also provides an exceptionally secure grip. The handle is then wrapped in a traditional black silk cord and finished with brass Menuki hardware, a small sculpture that sits between the cord and the handle. To contrast, the blade receives plenty of modern updates that improve its overall strength. Forged from heat-treated, spring-tempered carbon steel, it is honed to a high level of sharpness, while the fuller is carefully hand-finished with a striking mirror polish. A black lacquered wooden scabbard compliments this unique weapon and protects it from damage.Cold Steel 88K Specs
