## Description

This Dragon Fly Wakizashi from Cold Steel is a Japanese style sword that was worn by samurai of small stature in feudal Japan. Features of the Cold Steel Dragon Fly Wakizashi: - Weight: 30.3oz; - Blade Thickness: 5/16in, - Blade Length: 22”; - Handle Length: 9 1/2”, 11 1/2”; - Steel: High Carbon Steel; - Sword Style: Japanese; - Product Family: Dragon Fly. Deeply curved and hand polished 1060 steel blade of this Dragon Fly Wakizashi terminates in a long iris leaf point for maximum cutting potential. Made of this steel, blade shows resilience and a good compromise between hardness and pliability; it is popular among the sword making community. These swords come with two protective bags: a blue cotton travel bag and an intricately decorative display bag made from fine heavy silk brocade. This line features thicker, wider and heavier blade; these swords have a distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black samé (ray skin) handles, complementing rich iron furniture with a dragonfly motif

Review: Quality cutter - 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.
Review: Should have better QC. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Forged? Full tang?**
A: I believe it is a half tang because the pegs and there position in the handle.  For a short sword such as a wakizashie that's all you really need. If it was a full katana I would want a full tang. When it comes to forge Cold steel monotempers there blades and makes the metal to have a spring like temper. On there website they show videos of them sticking swords in vices and bending them 45 degrees and the blade will turn back to normal. No stay bent. Cold steel takes pride in making their products. Hope I helped you.

**Q: Is it fully sharppend and battle ready**
A: Oh man, this is 9 uears later but judging from earlier answers, it seems that the blade grinding processes has been changed.

As of November 2022, these blades now come with a ragged edge. Its sharp but the edge is not clean. You will need to hone it before you attempt to cut with it or you will just be half cutting half ripping.

**Q: description sucks.....how long is the blade and overall length?**
A: The blade is 22" long and it has a o/a length of 31.5 ". The handle is long enough for two hands.

**Q: This same sword is being sold for more than double the amazon price on the actual manufacturer's website ($675). How are theyable to sell it so cheap?**
A: I shop for different brands of swords frequently on various websites. For some reason swords are always priced far higher on the actual manufacturer website than anywhere else. This seems to be the exact same sword as on the cold steel site, but with less mark up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality for the price
*by P***K on April 14, 2020*

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.
