The chokutō (straight sword) is a straight, single-edged Japanese sword that was mainly produced prior to the 9th century. Its basic style is likely derived from similar swords of ancient China. Chokutō were used on foot for stabbing or slashing and were worn hung from the waist. Until the Heian period such swords were called tachi, which should not be confused with tachi written as referring to curved swords.
Didn't think it was legit, it was it came in less time than it was supposed to about a week. I opened it up and I sliced my finger open by accident so yes it does function correctly. Handle with caution if you choose to buy other than that I recommend buying if you want a sword.

As soon as you see this katana, you understand that is such a great piece of art. But as soon as you take this sword, which we often see on TV screens, out of its sheath, you understand that the master blacksmith not only worked on it for many days but also put a bit of his soul into his work, which seriously lets you know the weight and shine of the manganese steel, playing with the rays of the afternoon sun.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Golden Blade And Brown Scabbard |
I have held a real 95 gunto military sword and this one for the money is an excellent reproduction! Very sharp, so be careful! The metal is high grade carbon steel (1095) which holds its edge! A nice collectors piece without having to spent serious money on the real thing!
