I have to admit after reading some of the reviews I was waiting on pins and needles to see what kind of product I would receive. I was happy when I opened the box and viewed the sword that was actually well put together. Felt solid in the hands nothing rattling. Two things I wasn't happy with. The sword did not come Sharp to my expectations Factory Edge only not sharp enough to cut paper. Also the little end cap at the end of the sword that closes off the rap was a little loose. Overall very pleased ## Features - The Dragonfly Katana is a beautiful sword with a distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black same (ray skin) handles, complementing rich iron furniture with a dragonfly motif. - Steel: 1055 Carbon - The carbon content and lean alloy of this shallow hardening steel make this a very sturdy material that avoids a lot of the brittleness commonly associated with higher carbon materials. - Sam√ (Ray Skin) Handle with Teal Green Silk Braid Cord & Brass Menuki.

Depends upon the strength of the metal that you're trying to cut. The amount of pressure you apply. If there is any material defects. **Q: What is the handle length?** A: The tsuka comes in at 11.5 inches or 29.2 cm. The real problem with the sword is the weight, the handle doesn't feel long enough for how tip heavy it is. It's not an easy sword to steer even with the longer tsuka. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I wanted - here are a few answers to questions I had at purchase *by N***C on January 12, 2012* Just what I wanted - here are a few answers to questions I had at purchase: I was curious as to if the upper of the "Double Edged" blade would be sharpened.

Overall very pleased ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy for the price! *by D***S on March 19, 2021* Well, I recieved this very Katana this afternoon. I will be completely honest, but first I have to contradict against the negative reviews and correct a few. First off, you have to understand that you're looking at a sword with the price range of $400. Therefore, this katana isn't forged the traditional way with the correct techniques with the correct minerals. Any sword manufactured/forged by a mass production company will not have the qualities in strength or weight. A sword properly forged will be very thin in thickness of the blade and tang; also the hilt will be very slim. A properly forged sword will have strength and durability that will withstand abuse beyond how coldsteel test their swords and will last throughout certuries if properly cared for. "A Sword of any style or forged in any culture was designed with one purpose. That purpose was to maintain durability with the intentions to cut and pierce human flesh to take the life of another, end of discussion. I almost forgot, do not down the manufacturer of missing parts due to you purchasing from a third-party distributor. Anyway, I am satisfied with this katana. It came complete as in the description. Razor sharp, no damage, no missing parts or items, no rattles, and everything tightened. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Dragonfly Katana, Black - Cold Steel Japanese Samurai Dragonfly 1060 Carbon Steel Ray Skin Wakazashi Sword --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/5526746-cold-steel-dragonfly-katana-black](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/5526746-cold-steel-dragonfly-katana-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
