I've always wanted one as a kid, but I just realised how tacky this things are (in the sense of advertising it on a wall). A bit like having a tshirt with a dragon on it or chinese character tattoos. Ugh. Just puked.
This replica is not the same...my gramps's one (off an nip officer!)had very nice details to hilt & handle,the sheath too! This is quite plain & modern looking!if I could get a pic of it up here I will,it's at my aunts after nan passed away!that's got real history as was old then...they get passed down the family line!only the officers had the real nice one with silk & gold etc
They did rather plain looking ones in 1942 for officers new to the army!The things can go back many generations & basically have stayed the same...a timeless piece that is modern when u put next to a broad sword or Europe equivalent lol...lucky!i want my pops one!
For the ninja turtle who has everything.

Hattori HanzĹ..,
Having a replica its tacky... Having a real one and understanding its true valor, and affording it its the real fancy thing!
the prices are crazy! :(
My gramps (god bless his soul) brought one back from Burma after shooting an officer!i loved it as a kid & thought he was like Indiana Jones lol...
Handy if a zombie apocalypse was to happen..
True classic!
this!!!

Timorez, please don't use the word Nip, you know it's offensive right?
Apols! Nippon is ok?
