Cold Steel Japanese Samurai Dragonfly 1060 Carbon Steel Ray Skin Wakazashi Sword

I can’t imagine why this sword received much of a negative review

Very nice, everything looks great except for the sageo which is rather bad looking and the blade had a small burr all down the edge, minimal work to remove but it should not be there.I’m happy with this sword.

Exceeded my expectations. Very good quality for the price. It’s pretty sharp but I will probably hone it a bit. It feels good in my hands. Well balanced. I feel like a little kid with this thing. I want to chop up everything around me, haha.

Guard is rusted , must have been in moist environment.Edge is sharp but not razor sharpI’m not a sword expert , but I can see the wood ? pins in the handle .I don’t know how strong this sword really is and would it really be a battle ready sword, or a$60.00 machete be better .I understand this is not a real Japanese sword from Japan those are in the thousands $ , but I had higher expectations. I was hoping the edge was razor sharp but I gotten a kabar that was sharper out the box .

La espada es espectacular, tiene muy buenos acabados y trabajos le doy un 9 1/2

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.

The sword and fittings themselves are beautiful. The construction quality is very poor.Saya was cracked just inside the koiguchi. Fuchi and Kashira were extremely loose. Ito was very loose. Habaki was cracked/split at the ha side of the blade.Polish on the blade was excellent, and it came extremely sharp. Iron fittings are gorgeous and the silk Ito is beautiful.The components are excellent but the assembly thereof and QC just isn't there.

Cold Steel: Wakizashi get 4 stars instead of 5 stars because of 3 reasons, the blade has some imperfections!!! First, the blade came in very dull, I've got other Cold Steel products and other knives that are way more sharp with a great edge!!! Second, is there are two different spots on the blade with things I can't seem to remove with a rag!!! Which means it's something on the blade itself, not some crummy stuff caked on the blade!!! Third, is the Suba has some paint chips on it, on both of them: Wakizashi and the Tanto!!! I'm going to contact Cold Steel and see what they are able to do, sense I just purchased the Wakizashi and Tanto!!! Other than that I'm very pleased with the blade and would recommend it to anyone who likes things like this!!!
