I recently procured three replica Katana's, all from movies.:fencing:
I got the Bride's sword and Bill's sword from Kill Bill and The sword from the Last Samurai.
The Two Kill Bill swords are OK, i wasn't overly impressed with them, but as long as they stay in the scabbards, they look good.
The Last Samurai replica is excellent. The Scabbard looks very well made, the sword is easy to get out of the scabbard and back in (But it has the blade 'lock' when you first draw it.) The Tsuba is excellent, the detail on it is amazing as is the detail on the scabbard and blade.
I have been looking at other replicas, such as the Highlander Dragon Katana, and they seem very impressive but I have desided to hold fire on any others for now.
Does anyone else have any movie replica Katana's?
