I have all 3 of the "Highlander Katanas" though mine are the 440 stainless wall-hangers. I bought them back when I was around 15 and new to sword collecting, and the movie Highlander had ignited my thirst for all things sharp and pointy. When I was playing out in the yard with my connor sword I accidentally struck a pine tree, the faux ivory handle snapped in half like a hersey's chocolate bar and the sword flew from my grasp. Luckily, no one was injured and the break was so clean that a little super glue fixed it right up. It now sits with its siblings on my 3-sword stand. I guess what I'm saying is that be very careful if you ever do decide to cut with these things. The faux ivory handles are very fragile and if the tang is only about 4 inches long like it was on my 440 stainless then that's an awful lot of fragile resin handle just waiting to snap on you.

I'm glad that you have had a good experience with the United Cutlery Highlander sword. As for myself, I have a problem cutting with a sword that isn't pinned or secured to the tsuka. The 'resin?' that holds the blade in the tsuka has the same consistency as aged drywall. It crumbles to the touch and isn't very reassuring at all. To me this sword is nothing but a wallhanger as well. But still cheaper than the Marto version so still a good deal in that respect.
Like I said, I'm glad you have had a good experience with it and hopefully nothing will ever happen.
