true to its description this is a replica sword (no sharpened blade on it, if you want sharp look for "Full Tang" or "Battle Ready") Not the most accurate replica, if you follow the show you know that Yubashiri has a black handle with little gold beads. Ive looked around and this is the only replica of yubashiri i could find that was worth paying for, the others were ridiculously over priced.
