Cold Steel Dragonfly Wakizashi Katana – 88DW

A Modern Interpretation of Japanese Swordsmanship

Many Japanese swords offered today are recreated replicas of antiques from feudal Japan, and they were made for warriors of small stature who rarely stood over five and a half feet tall. As beautiful and skillfully crafted as these swords are, they may not be a perfect fit for the modern warrior, who has become a significantly taller and stronger version of their historical counterpart! With this in mind, Cold Steel has created the Dragonfly Series – a line of Japanese swords featuring thicker, broader, and heavier blades. These beautiful swords are excellent for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate Japanese craftsmanship.

Distinct Design and Exceptional Quality

These striking swords feature a distinctive teal green silk wrap and black ray skin on their handles, complemented by rich iron decorations featuring a dragonfly motif. Their deeply curved and hand-polished 1060 steel blades end in a long iris-leaf point for maximum cutting potential, making them impressive items for display and collection. To protect and preserve the sword’s beauty, two protective bags are included: a blue cotton travel case and an intricately decorative display bag made from fine heavy silk brocade, ensuring your sword remains in pristine condition.
