Hi guys,
Right my lad is 15, very sensible and mad on Japan, he loves all the ps5 samurai games , he loves all the anime series and cherry blossom trees lol , he’s asked for a replica samurai sword to display in his bedroom , I have no idea on any trusted websites or even if you can get them in this country, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Paul
 
I think Katanas have to be made by hand (Hammering the blade) rather than pressed out of sheet steel, I'm not even sure if they can be bought now!

They're actually banned in Japan now unless they are of historic nature, I have a Wakizashi that's a few hundred years old, The smith was Omi Daijo Fujiwara Tadahiro..

I took this pic and a friend put it on the Nihonto board, I was fairly lambasted for placing it on that grit!! ☺️

The mei which could be upside down! 😬

That is good example from an acknowledged mast of the Edo period, you lucky man.
Do you have papers for it too?
