Product Description
The Dragonfly Series swords feature thicker, wider and heavier blades, which mirror our Emperor Series in respect to heat treatment, polish, quality of furnishings, and attention to detail, but with a few new departures. Most noticeable are the distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black samé (ray skin) used on the handles and the black iron furniture that bears the dragonfly motif. Also, the polished blades are more strongly curved than our Emperor blades and terminate in a long "iris leaf" point for maximum cutting and slashing potential. Additionally, these swords come with two protective bags.

Quality cutter
By Nozama
This is one impressive blade. The Iris leaf tip is outstandingly optimized for penetrating & cutting power. the half Bo-hi & false edge do a great job of reducing weight keeping it light & quick, & the handle is just long enough to get a good two handed grip if need be. Fit n finish is very good, all parts nice n tight. The Tsuka is perfectly sized & the handle wrap is tight. The Saya is a perfect fit with no rattle. I would have liked to have the scabbard throat fitted with a metal collar though....as this blade can easily cut through the wood on a bad draw. The overall package is rather light & comfortable to wear even while in practice. I really like it !! By far one of the best swords for the money out there. The blade comes with two sword bags, one plain blue & the other is silk. Due to the fact that this is a serious combat weapon that can severely injure or kill, one must exercise caution when handling this blade. This is NOT a toy & should not be handled as such.I strongly recommend that no one under 18 be allowed to purchase or use this with or without adult supervision.....but.....that is ultimately your decision. You are the arrow of your intent.....aim yourself well.

By Nic
Just what I wanted - here are a few answers to questions I had at purchase:I was curious as to if the upper of the "Double Edged" blade would be sharpened. I was happy to see that it wasn't.The ray skin handle was BEAUTIFUL.The Scabbard is 100% wooden and comes with an awesome waist tie.Overall an awesome Katana! Amazon's price being amazing on top of that! Would recommend.

An overpriced sword
By Michael A. Lohr
I give this product only one star because the blade is the only thing that is decent. My sword arrived at my home with very loose ito wrapping, a loose end cap on the handle, and there are small pieces of paper/cardboard coming out from under many of the wrappings on the handle. I assume this was to try and reinforce the shape of the silk(if it even is real silk) wrapping. For $500 this sword is almost total junk! Not what I've come to expect from cold steel products. They just lost an avid supporter of their blades. I have $150 dollar katana that have very tight ito on the handles, what a waste. Never again!
