Cold Steel Emperor Series Katana Black Silk Cord 29.5in Plain Blade

The Cold Steel Emperor Series Katana is a masterfully crafted sword that pays homage to the elegance and functionality of traditional Japanese blades. Designed with authentic materials and expert craftsmanship, this katana delivers a balance of beauty, durability, and precision that’s perfect for collectors and practitioners alike.

At its core is a 29.5-inch blade made from 1060 carbon steel, a metal known for its superior toughness and edge retention. Heat-treated to a resilient spring temper and finished with a striking mirror polish along the fuller, the blade is fully sharpened for exceptional cutting performance. This is a katana built to meet the demands of rigorous use while maintaining a breathtaking aesthetic.

The handle of the Emperor Katana is equally impressive. Wrapped in a traditional black silk cord over a foundation of genuine samé (ray skin), it provides a secure, comfortable grip with an unmistakable sense of authenticity. Accenting the handle is a finely crafted Menuki, a small ornamental sculpture that sits subtly beneath the cord wrapping, adding both elegance and historical significance. The fittings, including the Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel), are expertly made from nickel-silver, offering a timeless finish that complements the sword’s overall design. The Habaki (blade collar), also made of nickel-silver, enhances the weapon's durability and style.

Accompanying the katana is a black lacquered wood scabbard, providing both protection and a polished display when not in use. At an overall length of 40.75 inches and weighing 41.4 ounces, this katana offers a balanced feel that makes it as functional as it is visually captivating.

The Cold Steel Emperor Series Katana is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a high-performance sword with authentic styling, durable materials, and unmatched attention to detail.
