Gold Lion Katana
The Cold Steel® Gold Lion Katana represents a Samurai's every day carry sword for personal protection and the defense of his Lord, his family and his home. Significantly lighter than some of Cold Steel®'s other heavier-duty Katanas, it is not only faster in-hand, but also easier and more comfortable to carry when tucked into an Obi and worn all day. The Katana's Menuki bears the symbol of the Japanese Shisa (Lion Dog), a guardian or protector - a fitting motif for this beautiful lightweight sword. More information...
