My pleasure @TBSM! It's a really nice looking replica, and the photographs are conveniently 'far away'... I think it would fool many.

Feel free to inquire about any future Japanese swords that you're interested in. We're always here and happy to help

All the best,

This fake is very common and obvious with the decorative blade.

That being said, here is a lesson in safety and how NOT to photograph swords. Even though it’s fake, holding a sword out with one hand, and taking photos with the other, on a mobile raised step ladder?!

Glad this guy survived to post his fake :rotfl: ..
