Is there any information out there besides the retailers on the Cold Steel Japanese Katana? I'd like to hear the good and bad about these blades. I've read about the pros and cons about stainless steel blades but Cold Steel has a reputation for making excellent blades. If there is anyone out there who owns one or has even used one for tameshigiri or iai, I'd to know what they think.

Thanks

You might do a keyword search over on sword forum http://forums.swordforum.com . There has been lots of discussion on these over there. Generally a decent production blade, nice lines, ok steel, poor fittings. Don't pay full retail ($799).
