The entire head is blued for both beauty and protection. The cutting edge measures 2 3/8" and the head measures approximately 7" in width.

Cold Steel Warrior Series Chisa Katana
The Japanese swords of the Imperial Series have proven, since their initial introduction almost five years ago, to be quite popular. Some people want a battle ready sword, this is it! This sword is used and has effortlessly sliced many a jug. Blade has been re-polished by me to a mirror-like finish. Blade is razor sharp and entire saya/blade is in excellent condition.
The Warrior Series swords are very handsome in their own right and share the same steel, heat treatment, and sharpness as their more expensive Imperial counterparts. Like the Imperial swords, they have Samé covered, cord wrapped handles and quality fittings. Comes complete with a black lacquered scabbard and a blue/violet cover bag.
