Cold Steel katana and more

Dozens of carefully designed knives from Cold Steel are based on the imperatives of history's warriors but they are modified for today's modern knife enthusiast. Whether it's a Cold Steel katana with its blade heavy enough for the modern warrior and a point referred to as 'iris leaf,' or the 'Cat' version of the handsome, effective Cold Steel tanto, a lighter version made with plastic that's been reinforced with fiberglass, these are of the highest caliber materials and result from informed, engaged, and meticulous engineering. Just a few examples of knives brought to you by this maker, these two weapons represent the finest. Categories of carefully crafted Cold Steel knives and other tools for hunting and self-defense include this company's fixed blades, folding knives, Nightshade Series, swords, and specialty items. This last group is made up of axes, hawks, kogas, shovels, and the Cold Steel Bushman 7", ideal for good hunting and processing.

It's a six inch blade, five and a half inch long handle, 5/16" thick, and part of the Nightshade Series of knives. This is the indomitable Cold Steel tanto and it's a uniquely affordable self-defense weapon. Easily hidden due to its attractive black finish, this 3.1 ounce knife is also lightweight, has a good grip, and is impervious to temperature extremes or excessive moisture in any climate. Finally, it doesn't warp, rust or split, no matter what it's used for or where, for that matter. Another popular item is made of carbon steel and has a blade only 9/32" thick. This Cold Steel katana, called the Chisa, is one of the Japanese Warrior Swords of the Imperial series, a line of affordable yet battle-ready weapons that trades in the usual mirror polished finish for availability to those with smaller budgets. No worries, however. Even without the finish, this katana is quite good-looking and still boasts the quality that makes this maker so popular.
