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 Cold Steel®'s other heavier-duty Katanas, it is not only faster in-hand, but also 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.
The Gold Lion Katana's blade is made from expertly hand-honed and highly polished Damascus steel, with a Hamaguri grind, a peaked Iori Mune spine and an undulating clay-tempered Hamon. The black iron Tsuba, Fuchi and Kashira all have gleaming 24 carat gold leaf accents and the handle features white rayskin and a black silk cord wrap.
