Is the blade of this Hatorri Hanzo bride katana folded?

slightly, it's more of a display sword actually but it definitely does not have the strength of a full katana. but it will do some damage if need be.

It is big. It is a real katana. I practice Aikido for years and this is a perfect size to handle. Heavy but good.

If you remove the handle you will have to be sure you know how to reassemble the knife, if not then it will be pretty much junk after that. You need to push the liner to the side to release the blade and put it back into the folded position.

Yes, it Should!!! Although, I no longer have my German-grandfather's 'genuine medieval-era ancestral family' @ Japanese Samurai Katana given unto him in WW2 by a friend in that of a Japanese-officer in the Japanese Ultranationalist Imperial Red Army, in exchange through equal fair barter trade for his own 'field issued' Wehrmacht SS-officer @ Luger PO8 and some other family valuables -- that I sent back to my family in Germany... Nor, do I even have my cheap knockoff crap of @ Katanas from Indonesia, anymore... So, I cannot give you an definitive answer and test it... However, My, Schutzstaffel @ SS Eagle Dress-sword fits in their perfectly -- and the Swords' @ Scabbard and Blade itself is near equal to the Katanas' @ Blade and Scabbard in width and thickness. So, Yes, it Would!!! The great thing about this: is that it's @ "Universal" and not fixed for one single type of sword, sabre, dagger etc-etc-etc., but virtually almost all of them with standard type of 'straight' or 'curved' Scabbards -- no matter what size of shape, length, width, weight etc... What the @ 'Product-Picture', doesn't show you -- is that the @ "front of the Sword-Frog is solid Leather" but the @ "back of the Sword-Frog is open-ended and is fully adjustable and secured via a fairly long Leather-Shoelace lacing!"... So no matter what type, size, weight etc., of sword, sabre, dagger etc., you have -- you can wrap the 'Sword-Frog' around the Scabbard and adjust the 'Leather-Shoelace' to make the Frog more loose or tighter for different varying sizes and shapes of Scabbards... This is one of the great things., but not shown in detail in the picture., about this Frog versus others that are fixed specific to one type of sword, sabre, dagger etc... I haven't had problems with @ "slippage of the Scabbard" or the @ "Frog loosening and Lace unraveling" etc., and has really good traction! Hope this helps!!!

This item is manual folding. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Briana

Nope, it's a fixed blade, solid 5160 steel. It weighs a ton. I love mine though, and the sheath is workable.

No the blade is unsharpened, mainly for cosplay or display purpose, thank you.KM

This is the Anime version of the blade. The animators for the Anime were likely too lazy to actually get its accurate design from the Manga, and went with a plain-black design. Either way, it will be recognized as Sasuke's sword, and I was happy with purchasing it. http://www.mangapanda.com/93-312-18/naruto/chapter-307.html for reference.

Theres a spot on the knife where the blade folds in, theres a small metal like bar in the middle of the bottom end of the blade, push it to one side and it should fold into place.

yes it is, but the popping is not good, but i love this!!, the only one problem is that it comes with the scabbard broken, little broken, but is nice, is good to practice wushu forms and better for tai chi forms :3

yes part of the blade goes all the way threw the handle and you can see it at the butt. my brother has had one for 30 years and abused it in every way possible and until it was stolen was still in great shape. he did have to replace the leather handle ,he replaced it with a deer antler and it looked great. probable why it was stolen.

No. The blade component extends into the hollow handle about one inch (of the four-five inch handle). It appears affixed to the handle by a little six sided bolt into the blade and a hollow cross base on the inside of the hollow handle through which the end of the blade fits inside. Perhaps that end of the blade is glued into the handle cross brace. I accidentally bought a second one of these and I'm looking forward to giving it to a friend of mine with 30 wooded/marshy acres in Wisconsin. Probably my favorite economical survival knife. It's a heavy piece of shiny metal with all those extras.

Mine is all black. It's carbon steel so it's functional. Sharp enough to cut but no where near katana sharp. I'm okay with it. Decent for such a cheap price. Beware the guard may bend during shipping somehow. I could straighten mine but it's more effort than it's worth for a slight bend.

Hi, Mr. Toyer!No, it is not. You want too much for this knife which is high quality knife for reasonable price. By rating in Russian YouTube Rat1 was folding knife #1 for 2011 or 2012 I don't remember. It is perfect slicer and cutter but liner lock doesn't like abuse (do not chop) and if you leave over night the knife wet very fast coming rust.

If what your asking is are they hand made, No. These are made by a company called Cold Steel most likely in a factory in China. If your looking to buy a Katana from Japan, It might be a hand made one and it would be in a more expensive range. Such as 2k - 5k US Dollars.
