Long ago in ancient Japan, feudal lords battled one another for territory. These men command thousands of infantry troops called samurais, lone men whose purpose is to serve their vassal lord with honor. A samurai’s destiny is to spread honor and fame through his swordsmanship. The sword by his side, called a katana, is his lifeline, livelihood and companion.

The mastery of this so called katana takes a lifetime, where one must dedicate his entire soul solely to it. Some say that a master skilled in swordplay can slice off a butterfly’s wing with one flick of the katana, from sheath to slash. Of course, the 21^st century has kept us busy from pursuing our personal desires. Though you can’t possibly dedicate your life to the sword, you can own it and feel the samurai spirit flow into you.

The Cold Steel Warrior Series Chisa Katana Sword is made out of carbon steel and underwent the same heat treatment and sharpening process as the other katana swords. The handle wrapped in black braided cord and accented with brass menuki will let you experience the finesse and balance of the blade. The sword itself is over 24 feet long.

Far from its mastery, you are a step closer to feudal Japan. Sure you can never slash a butterfly’s wings, but at least you can be the modern day samurai you always wanted to be with this samurai sword. Just don’t go waving that sharp katana around, because you don’t want to cut a finger or two.
