I'm curious about this one. The blade is most definitely stainless (fake hamon pattern), but the tsuka looks thoughtfully put together (alternating ito folds, waisted shape, emperor nodes?). I searched the usual Marto/Art Gladius sites and didn't see any similar models. Tsuba looks weirdly old instead of chintzy. It looks like there's a kogai/kogatana/utility knife on the scabbard, which is more common on decorative swords than on functional pieces.
My verdict is decorative replica, but one of the better ones. $100 max [slams gavel]

Looks like a japanese made imitation blade. The correct name for these escapes me right now.
