And for good reason! At a monumental 60" long overall, with a fully functional, razor sharp 36" blade, this imposing two-handed samurai sword packs awesome might, savage bite and untamable brutality on par with the biggest, baddest, most terrifyingly oversized beasts of lore. But unlike the Titans, Cyclops, Goliath, the Nephilim or any other giant(s) of legend, the monstrous Colossus is real. Very real. And reality can be far scarier than fiction - especially when you're on the receiving end of this potent Shinwa odachi. "Would you like to supersize that?" Odachi swordsmiths always answer, "yes" One of the largest sword types in Japan's long, storied history of innovative swordcraft, the "odachi" represents the legendary capability of the katana multiplied two- and even threefold. It's so hefty, in fact, it must be wielded with two hands to maintain sufficient control - especially important when brandishing a weapon of this intensity and magnitude. History is full of mammoth "two-handers" - the Chinese Miao Dao, the Spanish Espada Bastarda, the Scottish Claymore and many others; but none can match the odachi's awe-inspiring ferocity and formidable cutting clout. Shinwa's Colossus is no exception; it even dominates other odachi, outperforming many of the world's most expensive custom examples. And like all Shinwa swords, the Colossus is every bit as much a "beauty" as it is a "beast." Monstrous power and size, refined style and graceA hulking brute adorned in the trappings of royalty, the Colossus dons all the aesthetic hallmarks that make traditional Japanese cutlery so visually appealing, plus plenty of smart contemporary updates and chic original appointments that epitomize Shinwa's knack for combining the best of old an ## Features - One of the most powerful, awe-inspiring swords in traditional Japanese swordcraft - Shinwa style - Colossal full-tang 36" Damascus steel blade - expertly hand forged by seasoned swordsmiths using proven, centuries-old techniques - Blade boasts more than 2,000 distinct layers of high carbon steel - a giant sea of contrasting lines, waves, ripples, swirls and other spellbinding patterning - Elongated tsuka for two-handed grip; wrapped in delicately textured genuine ray skin same and braided ito; traditional wooden mekugi, brass menuki - Elegant, exquisitely detailed tsuba depicts vibrantly detailed dragon relief; bathed in rich, warm patina for antiqued look ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001U2HBS6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,104,681 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #2,022 in Martial Arts Swords | | Blade Length | 36 inches | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Steel | | Brand Name | Shinwa | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (28) | | Grip Size | large | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Item Dimensions L x W | 36"L x 36"W | | Item Highlight | Damascus Steel; Genuine Ray Skin; Dragon Tsuba - Functional, Full Tang, Battle Ready - 60" | | Manufacturer | United Cutlery | | Manufacturer Part Number | KZ095DZ | | Model Number | 46 KZ095DZ | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Style | Japanese | | UPC | 760729095342 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 36 inches - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Shinwa - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel - **Style:** Japanese ## Images ![Shinwa Colossus Handmade Odachi/Giant Samurai Sword - Hand Forged - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MhRlhrzrL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this sword made with steel.** A: Demascus steel, made in China **Q: What steel(s) specifically are used to make this sword?** A: Damascus/Carbon Steel **Q: this is sword made from china** A: yes, made in China **Q: Where is point of balance from hilt and what is its exact weight and handle length?
