Dragon Katana has a red simulated snakeskin handle and a red marbled scabbard. The end of the handle is decorated with a stylized dragon head. Dragon Katana sword has functional 26 ¾" 440C stainless steel blade, which is fully tempered and edged, but primarily intended for use as collectibles and decorator pieces, generally with eye-catching coloring and detailing. Katana is the prime weapon of choice for Japanese heroes in historical fiction set before the Meiji period. Carrying a non-sealed katana is illegal in present-day Japan, but in fiction this law is often ignored or circumvented to allow characters to carry katana as a matter of artistic license. In many works, especially when magical or supernatural powers are significant story elements, katana are more than a match for any other weapons. In some cases, writers make a new weapon based on ideas from katana, as a signature weapon of heroes and villains.
