"Cold Steel Warrior Wakazashi"; 21" blade, 30" overall, 1055 carbon steel (excellent steel for swords.) True aficionados of Japanese Samurai swords will criticize this weapon's less than polished features, but that's not the point. If you want a real Samurai sword be prepared to shell out a lot more than $300. This is definitely a battle ready weapon and my recommendation for a close-in head-chopper... swords don't make any noise and never run out of ammunition ($300 at Amazon.com) Real Samurai, Samurai Swords, Tactical Survival, Katana
