is this katana folded or sharpened?

It is neither folded nor sharpened but it will still draw blood. I cut my fingers thru the cloth.

No this is a fixed blade.If you're looking for a folding knife similar in blade shape look into the Buck Vantage knives.

No. it's a paring knife. The blade is 1 1/2 inches and is fixed in a plastic handle. If you want a folding knife, get a boy scout knife.

I got my CS Warrior Katana about a year ago. I collect and have multiple CS products. I'm very happy with the katana. Like all of their other knives, both folders and fixed blades, the katana is solid as a rock. The tsuba is rigidly attached and the blade is solid, a single piece of steel all the way through the handle. In my opinion, for the money, it's one of the best katanas out there. It does come sharped and includes a wooden scabbard. Again, I am very happy with mine and will be getting the slightly smaller Wakazashi soon. Hope this helps answer your questions

No Mike, It has a flat grind to a secondary bevel. The secondary bevel is easily convexed in about 15 minutes with a 400 grit diamond plate. the main thing i would stress is that the supplied sheath is unsuitable for use with a sharpened blade. for carry, the sheath should be replaced with a leather or plastic sheath, as the nylon sheath it comes with is unlined and extremely flimsy. There are any number of good vids on youtube about fabrication of a pvc scabbard.

I find the quality of this Cold Steel Katana very good, keep in mind this is not a $1,000 sword. The tsuba/guard is one piece of solid metal with cutouts, the tsuba does not wobble. the Katana arrived sharp but NOT SHAVING sharp. It does cut water filled water bottles in half however thicker (think heavier duty juice bottles) bottles just get a slice cut into the side and fly of the stand I placed them on without being cut in half. I would suggest viewing some of the videos on Youtube to get an idea of how the Katana cuts. Hope this helps.

It is, and when you get it all the proper markings will be in the correct places. I think it's just a ripped image of the knife. But all in all its a good knife has replace my buck folder as my new edc. Great ergonomics, great fit n finnish, good steel

Less than a 1/8 inch peice of metal plate for welding. It's sturdy but it's still a katana. I've cut down some small trees with it and it hasn't needed to be sharpened after a year.

The serrations aren't sharp but are tapered on both sides. This knife is made very well. I'm extremely happy with it and would buy it again.

Um not quite sure what youre asking there buddy. But I'll try my best... it only has one edge on it and it is sharpened on two angles

It has a 3" tanto shaped blade. The base of the blade is thick at the base, that includes the thumb hole. It appears to be one of the most reliable blades I have encountered in a folding knife. I reordered several of them. I also ordered the standard blade shape thumb hole remix, but I prefer the tanto. After using the tanto for several years I feel it is the most practical blade design. I use it in applications I never used a standard blade for during the previous decades :)

Looking at my knives ( I have a 7" gyuto, a 5" petty and a 9" sujihiki in this series) it appears that the bolster itself is bonded to the blade as a separate piece, although the fit and finish is very good and seamless. The blade and tang are one forged piece, just as in their "wa" Asian version. This is one of my two workhorse knives (admittedly for home cooking, not commercial). I have been very pleased - hope you will as well.

I believe further back the blade is serrated. Unfortunately I can't double-check since I mislaid it and haven't been able to find it. Sorry.

The steel is definitely folded over many times. You can feel the ridges slightly. It is very well built, an awesome knife. It's so cool looking that I haven't used it to actually cut anything. Bought one for my bro for Xmas.

stuart, this knife is sharpened on both sides of the ground side, the spine is not sharpened

mine appears to have been clay-tempered the waves in the steel are along the edge of the blade and not present in the rest. The blade to me appears to be stronger along the edge, yet flexible not to break on impact. I am by no means an expert and this was my first katana purchase, but as far as I can tell yes it is clay tempered and is a good sword.

If I remember, it had a very lightweight sheath. Almost paper light. Only looked at it briefly due to not balanced and grip not right for hand.
