Its false edged, so its not functional. Though I do have a folded metal katana that cost a pritty penny. Thankfully I didn't buy it, but it was once owned by a friend, but when he died suddenly, his parents gave it to me. Its sharp as hell, beautiful, and can chop about anything in half. Though I've never tried. And never will. Its too sentimental. AAnyway, katanas are sweet weapons. Heres one I'm thinking of adding to my collection. Its sharp, and functional, but its not "real" as in folded wise.
Oooh Baby... I think it looks cool, something "different" along side the Real Katana and Narsil.
This is the site I got Narsil from. Real good prices and has every bloody sword you could ever dream of. So I strongly suggest it. Frost Viking swords to fully folded katana swords to actual samurai armour. Price range from $8 to $2,000.
