The Japanese swords of the Imperial Series have proven, since their initial introduction almost two years ago, to be quite popular with many of our customers. Still, Cold Steel is aware that there are some people who want a battle ready sword but hope to find one at a more affordable price.

Cold Steel's Warrior Series addresses this problem directly. In our efforts to reduce the costliness of the blades, Cold Steel has omitted the expensive mirror polishing that was used on the 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.
