Emperor O Tanto

Cold Steel®'s Emperor Series swords are styled to reflect some of the most distinctive hallmarks of Japanese sword design. Cold Steel® uses only traditional materials for the Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar) and Kashira (pommel). Each piece is expertly made and finely crafted in nickel-silver. The Habaki (blade collar) is also hand-made from nickel-silver and the hilt is covered in samé (rayskin) and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with black silk cord. A beautiful Menuki (a small ornamental sculpture inserted between the rayskin and the cord wrappings) further enhances the handle's appearance. More information...
