when I took the handle off you could see that instead of the blade being tanged and coming all the way back into the hilt they had just welded on a threaded
bolt, that in turn let you see the appalling wood and paper-thin leather used for the hilt....a shoddy job and poor workmanship.
Wow that's fooked up. I've never had any problems with Cold Steel. But I've never had one of their swords...don't know if I ever will after hearing that. Damn I really like their Katana too.
