Cold Steel swords are famous due their huge and aggressive marketing campaign with a fancy video tests.

CS Japanese swords are affordable but do not expect a traditional sword. They have no hamon and they are not hand made.

Cold Steel quality
Some customers report quality issues sometimes but Cold Steel is great in a fast exchange of a defective swords.
The common problem is sharpness.
Sample product: Dragonfly samurai swords
I recommend to buy Cold Steel swords outside of CS official store to get a good discount.
I have their warrior katana. It is maybe not a traditional sword but it is a good cutter so i like it very much.
I am from Europe and i waited for Imperial katana about three weeks. After 3 weeks i got a total crap. The katana came scratched with an evident defects on the blade and its edge was nearly blunt. I filled a complaint and i get a new sword in just a 3 days by air mail. The katana finally came as described, very sharp and without any issues. I really appreciate cold steel customer service. Thanks again but improve the quality control.
I like Cold Steel videos but they are unreal.
If u are interested in a true samurai swords go to Hanwei or Bugei swords.
