Toyotomi Hideyoshi Replica Sword

A replica of one of the katanas that belonged to Hideyoshi Toyotomi - a sixteenth century warlord who unified Japan's feudal states.

A very flamboyant but beutiful piece.

(Sword stand not included)

The katana has a traditional construction complete with menuki (decorative grip), habaki (blade collar and scabbard wedge), fuchi and kashira (handle collar and cap).

However, unlike a real katana blade which is forged by beating and folding steel upto a thousand times, this blade is fabricated out of alloyed metal and has been blunted for safety. 

Sword stand not included. Important Warning
This is an imitation sword without a cutting edge. That is to say, the blade is made deliberately blunt. However, the purchase and possession of such swords may be banned in some countries such as the UK. (In UK the ban will be effective in April 2008)
It is your responsibility to insure that it is legal to purchase an imitation sword. We will not compensate for any orders confiscated by customs.
