Yet another Highlander Katana question

That's sorta the sense I was getting from them. I don't really know much about the Masahiro kats, but they have some nice designs that are sub $100, and some that are just a hair more than $100. If I knew more about them as a whole, I could judge better, I suppose.

Masahiro's a bit touch and go with regard to quality, but if you get a good one, you've got a really good one, you know? For $45 it's worth a shot- it might be that diamond in the rough they're famous for...then again, it might not be.

What site did you see those on? My sister is a huge Highlander fan so she might be getting one of those for Christmas.

So, Masahiro is a subsidiary of Master Cutlery? Interesting...for a long time I wondered who was behind them. I have one of MC's wallhangers from the Eragon movie, Brom's sword...for a wallhanger it is pretty well made and balanced, considering it is advertised as stainless steel.

I also have the Masahiro Bamboo katana, which IS a good sword- almost let it go too, til I found out what a gem it really was.

I just visited the site- I actually like THEIR version better than the 'official' United Cutlery version. I bet its a better sword too, for only a 1/3 of the price of the official UC one. Oh yea, my sis is gonna love it! Thanks for posting it, Chuck.
