TiQ Girl’s Katana is an Emperor Series made by Cold Steel. Unlike the Musashi, it has a thicker and tougher 1055 high carbon steel blade which is heat treated to a spring hardness. Whereas the Musashi uses a thinner, lighter more delicate blade that is two stage hardened; the Cold Steel blade is heavier and tougher. Its thickness means that you have to give it some muscle to go through stuff, although the blade isn’t probably going to bend or break. The Emperor uses a full length tang with a double pegged rayskin handle and a silk wrap. If you want to see cool demos of this sword slicing through ropes, wood, barrels of water, multiple pigs, mat rolls with wood centers and other impressive things, check out Cold Steel’s YouTube channel.
