FAQ: Anime & Game Katana Replicas

Asked by collectors, answered by the makers.

What are these replicas made of?

Solid die-cast zinc alloy blades, one pour per piece, hand-finished, with every edge cast blunt. Real metal weight — 43–112 g (1.5–4.0 oz) across the rack. Two katanas of identical length can differ by more than double, because a slim shinogi-zukuri blade and a thick one are not the same amount of metal. The exact grams for each piece live on its product page.

Are the blades sharp?

No — every edge and point is cast blunt straight from the mold. These are solid die-cast display collectibles, not functional weapons, recommended for ages 14+.

What sizes and prices are in this collection?

Pieces run 22–30 cm (8.7–11.8 in) — the tightest cluster of any big class we keep, because a katana that isn't katana-proportioned stops reading as one. Prices start at $19.99, with display stands adding $2 to $4 depending on style.

Do these come out of the scabbard?

Most of them do. The saya is a separate piece and the blade draws, which is the first thing anyone does when one arrives — and it's why these display well either way, sheathed on a stand or bare with the saya beside them. A few are cast as a single piece; the product page says which. Nothing on any of them is sharp either way.

Are these officially licensed products?

No — and we say so on our own page. These are unofficial fan-art collectibles from a two-person studio, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any game, anime, or film company. There's no official packaging or certificate, because there isn't one to give you.

How long is shipping, and how can I pay?

Free worldwide tracked shipping. Typical delivery is about 10 days — the median across 150+ tracked deliveries, US and international alike — though customs can stretch a small share to three or four weeks. Payment options are shown at checkout. Every order carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.
