Oh god, I'd have had a heart attack if you said that. Katanas are among my preferred sword types (Zweihander coming in as a close second), just hearing you have a real one is enviable.
An officers Katana issued during WWII. It came from some museum collection a while back. I did some looking into it and its legit but the hilt and pommel were rebuilt. The Tang and Blade are legit and I think the Scabbard is legit but re painted at least once. Samurai sword is easier to type though....at least I didnt say "Ninja sword"!
Lol..."Ninja sword" hahahahahah. Theyre not as hard to get a hold of as it would seem. You get what you pay for though. Mine is battle ready. Ive hacked into tree stumps on accident bottle cutting with a buddy. 360 dollars as a winning bid. Ive seen real ones go for 250-500 and better ones 1k-2k. Id really like to get ahold of a peasants blade or an oar blade.
