A decorative katana is an ornament and, despite its imposing appearance, is not a weapon suitable for training. Its place is on a stand above the fireplace in your living room, in your bedroom or in the office. They are swords with unbalanced blades, with welded handles, forged in stainless steel or other alloy unsuitable for real combat. Decorative katanas, because they are not forged like the real ones (nor in tamahagane steel more expensive than gold), are very beautiful objects at affordable prices.
The decorative Katanas are replicas of those used by the Samurai.
There are many other things to consider about the quality of the decorative Katana, such as construction materials, handle or grip, types of adhesives (if used), pins, type of thread and more. Decorative swords vary in price from approximately 50€ - 300€, and vary in quality accordingly. Decorative Katanas are a perfect choice for anyone who never intends to hit anything with it. Remember that "High Carbon Steel" does not mean it is functional," Full tang "does not mean it is functional. There is a combination of things that must be considered for a functional Katana to be safe and all others should only be considered as decorative Katanas on your wall or fireplace.
