where is this sword made?

China! I own one, bought it for my wife. An important thing to know about Cold Steel Swords in General is that they are "beater" swords. They are made of high quality steel, and they are tough as hell! Their Katanas are not of traditional weight and balance, they are heavier, and more cumbersome but you could probably chop down a decent sized tree with this sword and then sharpen/polish it back to good as new.

It's a bunch of different wood pressed together with wax in the scabbard and the handle is glued on. The steel was great, not sure which it was. I took it apart and made a new sword.

Sword is made in China. Made of steel. Some parts stainless. Not tempered steel, so it will bend. As a matter of fact, Packaging of the sword I received was very poor and it was bent. I was able to straighten the blade myself. Very attractive but truly for display only. Been hanging on the wall and has not displayed any rust.

I believe the steel is from japan an the knife is manufactured in sweden. It is a solid knife. Similar to spyderco who commission steel from japan, like everything there are different qualities no matter where it might, or might not come from.

It's made in the People's Republic of China, where everything else in the world is made these days. Had it been made south of the equator the blades would spin in the other direction. :)

I'm sorry, I really don't know. I looked at it and it doesn't say. I've had it for quite some time and I can't remember if it said on the box where it was made.

It is a real stainless steel blade. The blade is not sharpened so it doesn't have a sharp edge. The hilt is plastic and it feels like it is meant to be a decorative sword and not a functional one. Hope that helps!

The spartan is made in Taiwan. But it is still an amaIng knife I highly recommend picking one up.

I believe it is primarily for display although it is made of all metal parts. The blade itself is stamped as 440 Steel and made in China. Based on what I have read, 440 is good for display swords but it would not stand up in battle against a forged blade.

It is made of stainless steel. It is softer than carbon steel. It was chosen because it, of course, does not corrode readily. If you start hitting anything much harder than styrofoam with this sword, you will put nicks, scratches, etc. on the blade.

The sword has stainless steel stamped on the side. It is a strong sword but is very dull.

It's made in Japan. PS I am really happy with it. The "false edge" on the back side near the point is also sharpened.

We bought this beyblade a few months ago. I believe it's from Japan. It's metal and heavy so it doesn't spin for a long time.

The blade is definitely stamped with Taiwan. Maybe it is assembled in the United States but I doubt it.

Unfortunately... Most production swords like these are all going to be made in China, Taiwan, or the Philippines. An actual Nihon-tô will run into the thousands so most of us will never be able to afford such swords. Is this a functional katana? Certainly. It'll cut most targets with ease. Does it have the flawless details of a Nihon-tô? No, but it looks just fine and you can put some DYI work into it yourself to make it better. Hope this helps

I don't know, I looked at the box and there is no information on where it was made.

The blade says Taiwan. Whether it's made there in its entirety, or just the blade is anybody's guess. The quality is quite high, so I don't think China was involved at all.
