This is one impressive blade. The Iris leaf tip is outstandingly optimized for penetrating & cutting power. the half Bo-hi & false edge do a great job of reducing weight keeping it light & quick, & the handle is just long enough to get a good two handed grip if need be. Fit n finish is very good, all parts nice n tight. The Tsuka is perfectly sized & the handle wrap is tight. The Saya is a perfect fit with no rattle. I would have liked to have the scabbard throat fitted with a metal collar though....as this blade can easily cut through the wood on a bad draw. The overall package is rather light & comfortable to wear even while in practice. I really like it !! By far one of the best swords for the money out there. The blade comes with two sword bags, one plain blue & the other is silk. Due to the fact that this is a serious combat weapon that can severely injure or kill, one must exercise caution when handling this blade. This is NOT a toy & should not be handled as such.
I strongly recommend that no one under 18 be allowed to purchase or use this with or without adult supervision.....but.....that is ultimately your decision. You are the arrow of your intent.....aim yourself well.

Just what I wanted - here are a few answers to questions I had at purchase:

I was curious as to if the upper of the "Double Edged" blade would be sharpened. I was happy to see that it wasn't.

The ray skin handle was BEAUTIFUL.

The Scabbard is 100% wooden and comes with an awesome waist tie.

Overall an awesome Katana! Amazon's price being amazing on top of that! Would recommend.

12 Years ago the Yakuza crime lord Kumicho murdered my parents in front of my own eyes. That night I vowed to avenge their deaths by the blow of my own sword, THE COLD STEEL DRAGONFLY KATANA!!! After 12 years of training and practice, I was ready to face Kumicho face to face. With my sword by my side he was sure to fall. He felt the true sting of justice as I impaled him with THE COLD STEEL DRAGONFLY KATANA!!! Thanks Cold Steel for helping me avenge my parents death!
