This katana is particularly attractive, the finish is perfect, I like the razor-sharp Damascus steel blade as well as everything else, perfect for the mid-range, I'm just going to change the stand

Blade (刀身): Damascus steel is renowned for its durability, and its wavy patterns, similar to the veins of a leaf, make each blade unique. These patterns are not only pleasing to the eye, they also testify to the superior quality of the steel, ideal for martial arts practice.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): Made of zinc alloy, the guard combines lightness and corrosion resistance, with a design that reflects care and attention to detail, essential for effective protection and a striking look.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The ebony wood chosen for the saya offers exceptional solidity and a sumptuous sheen, echoing robustness and elegance. The bull-horn kurigata is a luxurious detail that confirms the authenticity and nobility of the katana.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in genuine rayskin, the handle ensures a firm and lasting grip. The zinc alloy menuki and the bamboo mekugi guarantee the balance and security of the handle structure, while giving the katana a touch of traditional ornamentation.
The Shokubutsu 植物 katana is much more than a simple collector's item. It is an extension of the practitioner's spirit, harmoniously combining form and function for a truly immersive experience of katana handling practice.
Buying a sword in the UK
Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.
Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.
Care
- Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
- Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
- Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
- Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.

Victor
the katana is of very good quality overall, just a few details seem to need a look, like a small deep scratch on the scabbard which doesn't show because it's varnished, as well as the stand which took on moisture (it smells a bit and has a few defects) but I imagine it's because of the transport. Also the guard is bent in the direction of the hand and I wonder if it's on purpose.
