I went and post in your usernotes a few days ago about this (when you posted it in General Chat for some reason)...
- Katana too long, impractical in battle as movement is restricted severely
- Katana too long, impossible to sheath and draw
etc.

The scabbard would have to be of some softer material and less solid.

it looks a little fake but i do know most of those japaness swords are from japan.
u know the handle of the sword is diffrent from sephiroth sword that means it's a replica or it looks like a replica to me but it might be real u never know

It's not a proper samurai sword.
It was just made to look like that, no other reason.
It'd just be dumb if that was an orginal Katana.

Even if it isn't just fancy photoshopping, good luck drawing it.

I've seen a lot of replicas. I don't think anyone's idea in buying it would be to efficiently duel with neighbors whose dog goes to the bathroom on their lawn. It's a novelty item; just for show.
Although long swords of the katana style have been used in history. In most cases, the warrior would have a servant carry the sword, and hold it while he unsheathed it. The chopping power would be devestating, and to use it effectively you'd probably have to take advantage of its range. But no, probably not that useful overall.
There isnt enough handle to use it properly, for a sword with 6 feet of blade it would need 3 feet of handle or so. counting the heavy weight of the blade. They were used for a period as a weapon against calvary, but due to its movement restrictions and the difficulty of weilding such a massive weapon, the warrior can be defeated by a novice swordsman. Last time they were used in battle was in around 1500's. I dont remember the Shogun who ruled back then, sorry mates =]
Any news on a replica of barrets fake fore arm?
