Dragonfly - Wakazashi Manufacture ID: 88DW
The classic Japanese battle sword in all its incarnations has been celebrated for centuries not only for its elegant lines and simple beauty but also for the technique and skill that went into its construction.
Most swords offered today are interpretive copies of antiquities from feudal Japan. They were made for warriors of small stature who seldom rose above five and a half feet. As skillfully designed as these swords are they may not be perfectly suited for the twenty first century warrior who benefited from contemporary advances in childhood nutrition and healthcare and grew up to be a substantially taller stronger and more athletic version of his historical counterpart.
As a way of compensating for this size disparity Cold Steel has created the Dragonfly Series. These swords feature thicker wider and heavier blades which mirror our Imperial Series in respect to heat treatment polish quality of furnishings and attention to detail but with a few new departures.
Most noticeable are the distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black same (ray skin) used on the handles and the black iron furniture that bears the Dragonfly motif. Also the polished blades are more strongly curved that our Imperial blades and terminate in a long "iris leaf" point for maximum cutting and slashing potential. Additionally these swords come with two protective bags. These is a blue cotton travel bag and an intricately decorative display bag that's made from the finest heavy silk metallic brocade.
