The first time I ever laid eyes on a Katana (or at least a representation of it), was in the Cartoon Network show Samurai Jack. Now I\u2019m not an anime or manga person, so this cartoon, and Kill Bill, formed what became my formative body of knowledge around the Japanese warrior\u2019s most prized tool. The Katana was considered one of the ultimate weapons \u2013 if wielded with expertise and honor, it could achieve all your goals, slicing through enemies like a knife through butter.<\/p>\n

Now a good katana can cost upwards of a thousand dollars if you go for one that\u2019s forged by a swordsmith, but a good katana isn\u2019t really EDC. You can mount it on your wall and occasionally swing it around in your backyard, but you can\u2019t carry it around with you, and you certainly can\u2019t use it to open Amazon parcels or envelopes. For that task, may I present to you a tinier nihonto (Japanese blade), made to capture the beauty of the legendary Japanese sword, but on a smaller scale. The Treszen Stainless Steel Knife (I\u2019m not a fan of the name, btw) or the Micro Katana as I like to call it, is a tinier, more portable, EDC-worthy alternative that costs less than $10. It comes with an all-metal design, has graphics etched onto the Tanto-style blade, and measures a mere 9.5 inches long and 0.48 inches wide.<\/p>\n

Before all the purists jump for my throat, this isn\u2019t technically a Katana. Katanas have curved bellies, and this one, for the sake of manufacturing feasibility, comes with a straight blade design. That saves material, and makes CNC-machining the straight sheathe a lot easier too. The all-metal knife\u2019s design looks larger than life, but is perfectly dagger-sized, making it perfect for indoor and outdoor tasks. It still has the personality of a sword, which is what I really love.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

That personality comes from the Micro Katana\u2019s proportions. It\u2019s long and slender, so your mind almost imagines it to feel \u2018larger\u2019 than most stout pocket blades. It measures an impressive 9.5 inches long, with a fixed blade that\u2019s an impressive 5.8 inches in length and crafted from carbon steel. The narrow American Tanto-style blade comes with two edges \u2013 the long and obvious one, but also the smaller edge on the front, created because of the sharp transition. This gives you two edges and two tips for a variety of tasks from piercing to slicing, scraping, carving, whittling, etc. Again, the carbon steel comes in handy here, holding its edge to wear and tear.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The knife weighs approximately 5 ounces or 142 grams (including the sheath). When closed, you\u2019re left with this metal baton that is fun to fidget with or spin in your hands. To access the blade inside, unscrew the top and slide the knife out with confidence. The sheath and grip are fairly plain in their design (barring some CNC ridges on the ends), which is why the blade\u2019s laser-etched pattern really gives the Micro Katana some character.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Now this \u2018katana\u2019 isn\u2019t forged by some famous or reputed katana kaji (Japanese swordsmith). It\u2019s manufactured the way most EDC are, using machines that ensure sharpness, precision, and consistency. It\u2019s also why the knife can cost just under $10, making it sort of a no-brainer purchase if you want a fun, functional pen-sized EDC with a sword-sized appeal. Sure, the pen may be more powerful than the sword, so why not just combine the two, right?!<\/p>\n
