This a short vid of a licensed Highlander Katana that i found on Amazon.

BTW...I just bought the first official Highlander soundtrack (not Queen's A Kind of Magic Album).

Here are some pics of the CD cover and track listing.

The sword is really nice, congratulations, I've been thinking about getting one for ages. Maybe on my next trip to the US.
Just one thing: water bottles are easy targets, they don't even tickle the blade if it's real and tempered carbon steel. If you want to do a real test, you have to cut green bamboo or tatame omote.
I have a Cheness Ranko 1045, and I've accidentally hit the target wood stand 3 or 4 times. It made really nasty cuts on the stand, and the blade hasn't suffered any damage.
Sds,

No. All that matters is that... two stood against many! That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request: Grant me REVENGE!, And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!"

Great looking katana! One thing of note though - the Officially Licenced swords are made out of Stainless Steel and could break on you if you cut heavy targets with it. I still have the remnants of a Marto Duncan katana I accidentally broke many years ago - the dragon head shattered when it fell out of my wall stand and hit my tile floor. The blade is still OK, but it's not full tang, does have a rat tail at the end since the handle is made out of some kind of metal with a platic resin on top for the dragon design.

** Edit: just saw the vid where you state it's made out of 1045 steel... sorry about that.
Here's an older thread that you might find usefull (or not
