Cold Steel Nodachi Sword Warrior Series – 88BN

NinjaReady with Cold Steel

The Japanese swords of the Imperial Series have proven, since their initial introduction almost five years ago, to be quite popular with many of our customers. Still, we are aware that there are some people who want a battle ready sword but hope to find one at a more affordable price. Our Warrior Series addresses this problem directly. In our efforts to reduce the costliness of the blades, we have omitted the expensive mirror polishing that we used on our Imperial Swords to create a new series of Japanese swords with a more practical finish. The Warrior Series swords are very handsome in their own right and share the same steel, heat treatment, and sharpness as their more expensive Imperial counterparts. Like the Imperial swords, they have Samé covered, cord wrapped handles and quality fittings. If you’re in the market for a strong, good looking, reasonably priced Japanese sword we know you’ll be happy to own one of these. All come complete with a BLACK LACQUERED SCABBARD.   Specifications: Weight: 69.6 oz. Blade Thick: 5/16" Blade Length: 34" Handle: 23" Samé (Ray Skin). black braid cord with brass Menuki Steel: 1055 Carbon Overall Length: 57" Sheath: Black Lacquered Wood

Nodachi (野太刀?, “big field sword”): Very large tachi, some in excess of 100 cm, and usually a blade of the late 14th century.
