As beautiful and skillfully designed as these swords are, they may not be perfectly suited for the modern warrior, who has grown to be a substantially taller and stronger version of his historical counterpart! With that in mind, Cold Steel has created the Dragonfly Series - a line of Japanese swords featuring thicker, wider, and heavier blades. The Dragonfly Katana is a beautiful sword with a distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black samé (ray skin) handles, complementing rich iron furniture with a dragonfly motif. Their deeply curved and hand-polished 1055 carbon steel blades terminate in a long "iris leaf" point for maximum cutting potential. Additionally, these swords come with two protective bags. A blue cotton travel bag and an intricately decorative display bag made from the finest heavy silk brocade.\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Weight: 39.4 oz\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Blade Thickness: 5/16 in\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Blade Length: 29.25 in\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Blade Steel: 1055 Carbon Steel\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Handle Length/Material: 11.5 in\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Overall Length: 40.75 in\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Additional Features: Samé (ray skin) handle with teal green silk braid cord and brass menuki, black lacquered wood scabbard\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Blade Length Range: 20–30 in\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Steel Family: High Carbon Steels\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sword Style: Japanese\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Product Family: Dragon Fly\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
