This is cold steel, one of the best sword/knife manufacturers out there. Not some cheap wallhanger replica..

You're supposed to push against the hand guard with your thumb first, then pull. If you don't, the sheath will become loose, and cause injury.

Looking forward to the one I recently ordered!

Ideal for small places !

It's not "not painted". They didn't traditionally "paint" the blade with clay, they simply applied it in varied amounts depending on where on the blade it was being applied to. And it cannot crack. It isn't hard enough to crack. 1060 steel is quite resilient and "in the middle" of the steel carbon spectrum. If it were above 1090 then MAYBE.

when Bob says "this is sharper than knives I own" you know its gonna to be sharp

Beautiful blade id definetly buy one

@MasterVashTheStampde yes, all cold steel products are full tang.

I am sure you could get it apart if you wanted, but I can't guarantee you will get it back together or that the warranty would still be good. You can trust that these are not cheap mall swords. After cutting through a few items you will know and will not feel the need to take it apart anymore.

dude im drooling, i will have one!

Yes, it is genuine Cold Steel made by Cold Steel.

@nuclearwinterbg That would make sense, but as far as I know, Knivestown doesn't ship outside of the U.S.

If you were trying to say it will "break" in 2 swings, sorry you're wrong, but thanks for your opinion anyway.

i got a stupid question to ask you, do you think the chisa is sharp enough to cut heads off?

That is a beautiful blade right there. Unfortunately, it's illegal just to own one where I live. D: If I had the opportunity, I would be collecting these bad boys like crazy...

Watching this at this video's 9 year old birthday

keen to buy!! I live in Australia, do you ship to oz?

Jesus this is old, they have since switched to a 1060 steel.

@TheJuaxo hi, to what i know, the higher the carbon the stronger it can hold the edge.. the lower the carbon have less chance of breaking >

it's nice...... if I have......a Chisa katana sword

@swordsaint99 well that serves no purpose to me as long as it's wicked sharp, musashi didn't care for aesthetic either

Sweet! Out of all the cold steel swords I like this one best . Good E.D.C? :D

You must have had an interesting childhood, Bob.

I'm trying to decide between this sword and the Cheness Oniyuri..which one would you say is better? i want a sword that will last a long time...that is durable and wont get chipped easily...i like the thickness of the cold steel katana but some people say there a joke when it comes to katana...the only other sword i would like to consider would be the Cheness Oniyuri,do you know how well that sword would hold up? i mean cold steel has never let me down before...i need some help deciding, Thanks!

omg is so beautifull

Is it full tang?

I have a sword made by tomahawk, and it is also 1055 carbon steel, and i was just wondering, is that really the best type of steel for a sword?

@xxmtgxx please show me ONE authentic fixed-blade product from Cold Steel that is not full tang -.-

Oohhh just enough length if I may say so myself. Those long swords bum me out cuz everyone that's for shorter personabilies around 5'10 and they have very long arms especially compared to me all with longer reaches

That's funny, but probably not as accurate as many people might believe. This blade is mono-tempered, and the fittings are made from cheap materiel. A Katana should be differentially hardened and fitted with solid iron and brass fittings. You can get more for the same price from other companies.

good review but il prefer go for cheness 9260

It needs a Hamon which is essential in a samurai sword.

No clay painted on the blade side so the blade may crack

This is a sales pitch, not a review, wonderful sword but heavy, takes a lot of strength to wield it but it will cleave a torso in two

could double for a ninja sword.

Machine made unfortunately but the steel does look high quality

I can't believe you pulled it out of the scabbard with the edge more or less facing down!!! That's a big no-go, mate!!!

lol did you start bleeding when you were touching the blade with your thumb? lol cause after that you didnt show your right hand to us :p.

Can I buy it I will pay you anything

@ZombieOrchestra totally dude, I carry this everyday and barely even notice, the jimping is awesome too. lol jk :P

Lol wakazashi is single hand grip. Ko katana is a smaller katana with teo hand grip.

Some are made in china with the Cold steel name

tempered carbon steel only, no stainless steel for swords.

samurai actually used yari, katana was a last resort weapon

Sorry mate.

Not all of your subscribers are from america so can you tell the dimensions in centimeters also when you make reviews. Thank you.

@AndrewXAnarchy look out stapmom haahahahahah

it's bad manners to feel of the edge like you are doing!

In 240 knife reviews I can only remember cutting myself once, and I reshot the video because of it. It was not this one but with the edge on this thing it sure could have been. As I recall, this sword had a edge as sharp and fine as a pocket knife.

Two hand.

lol that's a wakazashi

Never touch the blade!!!!!

刀の刀身は手で触るもん ではない。 ナイフ文化特有な行為 ナイフは錆びない

no, its not absolutely authentic.

Dude...three things. 1 never..EVER..EVERRRRR touch the blade..ever. 2 DRAW WITH YOUR NON SWORD HAND, SWORD IS STATIONARY 3. ALWAYS DRAW EDGE UP..you dont dull the blade or beat up the scabbard 4 that is a bad ass sword, but had a huge KISSAKI (point grind) and a nice wide BOHI (groove) kudos should cut like crazy Seeya Dude

More like Cheesy, not Chisa.

One of the worst replica of a real katana.
