<p>[QUOTE="Hollyblue, post: 386763, member: 1496"]The Chinese didn't have katanas,would need a photo of the full blade. From the appearance it looks like a fantasy/souvenir piece.The designs,etc on the blade appear to be acid etched and not engraved.The habaki is "paper" thin and not functional,the design on the tsuba looks like a cheap imitation of wire inlay,and probably much more wrong with the whole sword.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
