dorchadas: (Enter the Samurai)
We may have just been given a katana as a present.



We're going to check tomorrow. But if so...I don't even know what to say. (o_O)

The katana is really nice. Obviously a display piece, but it has a folded blade, shark-skin handle with cord grip, wooden scabbard, etc. The stand is cheap plastic. Naoyuki-kun told us that traditionally they're made of deer antlers, but a traditional stand is around $6,000 nowadays.
