It is a full tang sword and is fully functional. I do not know the value so I will let this no rerserve aution determine what this sword is worth.This sword is in very good condition. is a brief History of the important role that the Samurai Warrior has played in Japan ,s history. This is a real sword made by a master sword smith by hand. It is not a cheap fake with a spot-welded rod for a handle. This Katana has a handmade blade with a nice pattern in the skin. Its full-tang construction is what makes this solid enough to handle the stresses of warfare. Real handmade swords have a wood grain like pattern in the outer skin called the jihada. It comes from laminating many layers of steel to make the blade flexible. The blades are made by starting with a piece of hard steel to serve as the foundation of the sword. The skin or is made of hundreds of layers of softer steel that serve as a way to make the sword more flexible and resistant to breaking. Next the sword is covered in a ceramic like clay with just the cutting portion of the blade exposed and heated and tempered. This results in a very hard cutting edge on a flexible yet hard blade. Then the blade is adorned with artwork like the tsuba and handle and scabbard. The machine made blades are not as valuable, and do not have such a beautiful and important quality. It is not certain how old this sword is and one would need an appraisal from a professional Samurai Sword expert for more information as I am not an expert and haven't paid for an appraisal. This is a full size katana and is fully functional. WINNER NOTIFICATION, CHECK OUT AND PAYMENT INFORMATION » WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY EMAIL WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER THE AUCTION CLOSES.
