Cold Steel – CS88CKK – Mizutori Crane Katana – Fixed Blade Knife – 1095 HC Damascus Sword – Cord Wrapped – Brown White

The Cold Steel Mizutori Crane Katana (Model #88CKK) is an exquisite high-performance Japanese sword crafted to embody the elegance, power, and discipline of traditional battlefield katanas. This premium collector’s piece reflects Cold Steel’s commitment to quality, with each detail designed to impress both aesthetically and functionally. Forged from expertly selected 1095 high carbon steel, the Mizutori Katana’s 29.75-inch blade is differentially hardened using a traditional clay-tempering method to produce a striking authentic hamon line. This process enhances the blade’s cutting ability and edge retention while preserving flexibility in the spine. The Hamaguri-style edge is hand-sharpened to a razor finish, ensuring formidable slicing capability with refined balance. A symbol of longevity, strength, and loyalty, the Mizutori’s motif pays homage to the graceful Japanese crane. The intricately decorated tsuba and menuki proudly bear this motif, adding deep cultural symbolism to the sword’s aesthetic. The tsuka (handle) is crafted from real ray skin and tightly wrapped in rich brown silk ito, ensuring both elegance and secure grip. The katana is sheathed in a high-gloss black lacquered saya (scabbard) made from durable wood, accentuating the traditional design with modern quality assurance. With an overall length of 41.25 inches and a substantial weight of 5.8 pounds, the Mizutori Crane Katana strikes an excellent balance between display-worthy refinement and combat-ready structure. Proudly part of Cold Steel’s high-end lineup, this katana is ideal for martial artists, historical weapon collectors, and those with an appreciation for Japanese culture. Whether displayed prominently or handled with reverence, the 88CKK stands as a testament to Cold Steel’s dedication to authentic craftsmanship.
