Golden Lion Katana

The Golden Lion Katana is Cold Steels® interpretation of the sword that samurai of yesteryear carried in everyday life to defend themselves or protect their master, family and home. Not only is it significantly lighter and more agile than other Cold Steel® katanas, but it also offers more comfort when worn in the obi all day long.

The menuki bears the symbol of the Japanese shisa (lion dog), which in its role as guardian or protector is a suitable motif for this beautiful and light sword.

The Damascus steel blade of the Gold Lion Katana sword has been expertly hand-honed and polished to a high shine. It features a sharp hamaguri, an iori mune (a pointed A-shaped blade spine) and a wavy hardness line (hamon), which was created by hardening in a layer of clay. The tsuba, fuchi and kashira are made of black iron and decorated with brilliant 24-carat gold leaf details. The handle, covered in white ray skin, is wrapped with black silk cord.
