Replica Sword, Genuine Copper Blade, Wakizashi, High-Grade Simulation Sword, For Display Use

Purchased around March 2023 from Rakuten as a new item. Sold as an iaito (practice sword). This item is a replica sword made of genuine copper, naturally without a sharpened edge. No registration for firearms, swords, or blades is required, intended solely for display. Although amateur, multiple modifications have been made. The scabbard has been shortened and rejoined, with the joint wrapped, the sageo (cord) replaced, the tsuba (handguard) replaced, the end of the handle shortened on the kashira (pommel) side, the tsuka-maki (handle wrapping) replaced, the plastic samegawa (ray skin) painted silver, and the mekugi (peg) replaced. After modifications, it has been used only occasionally for practice swings, primarily preserved for display purposes.

Blade material: genuine copper, total length (bare blade): 80cm, total length (with scabbard): 82cm, scabbard length: 60cm, blade length (from tip to tsuba): 57cm, handle length (from kashira to tsuba): 22cm, weight (bare blade): 900g, weight (with scabbard): 1100g. The original sageo, tsuba, mekugi, and sword bag that came with the purchase are all included.
