Nodachi by Cold Steel

September 8, 2009

Of the Warrior Series by Cold Steel, the Nodachi is made of exceptional quality at an economical price! Many collectors requested something like their Imperial Series at a lesser cost. This is a step down in price but not necessarily in quality! The major difference between weapons of the Warrior and Imperial Series is the fact that the mirror polishing has been omitted. The same steel, heat treatment, and sharpness are used for both.

This is a strong and good looking weapon for your collection made by one of our favorite manufacturers.

Nodachi Facts:

The Nodachi is a two-handed Asian weapon which was carried for foot soldiers for use during close combat. During combat the sword was generally carried when approaching the enemy with two hands while the blade was facing outward toward them. They were relatively uncommon due to their difficulty to forge and great strength requirements.

This sword was carried by Sasaki Kojiro who was deadly with this weapon. You may remember his name for his famous duel with Musashi Miyamoto.

The school of Kage-ryū is one of the few who trains in the use of this weapon.

Show off your strength with one of these rare martial art gems.
