Exclusive to Point Gallery The only true first season sword "There can be only one." Sal D'Aquila's Musashi Katana Built for the discerning Highlander fan
The Genei is back!
Musashi katanas are produced by the artist/propmaker who sculpted the original TV series prop. The katana swords are authentic duplicates of the samurai sword used in season one and two* of the TV series. These swords are built in the U.S. using selected blades and sayas from Paul Chen, tsubas custom made to original specs and kevlar/carbon fiber fully reinforced handles. Only highest quality materials and high carbon steel blades are used throughout. No corners have been cut in the building of these swords. The carbon steel blades are designed to take the punishment of martial arts use. Field proven for over 11 years, the kevlar/carbon fiber reinforced handles are guaranteed to be the toughest ever produced for a replica sword. The combination produces a unique samurai katana which is both collectible and fully functional. Musashis are authentic reproductions of the original prop, with a much higher level of fit and finish than a prop sword. All Musashis are numbered and are supplied with a certificate of authenticity. Musashi katanas are exclusive to Point Gallery and are not sold wholesale for marketing by other suppliers. *The first season was filmed in British Columbia, Canada. Halfway through the second season the production moved to France. At that time a deal was made with Marto of Spain to produce a commercial "licensed" version. In the episode "War Monger" , late in the second season, the newly designed sword (marketed as "The Sword of the Dragon") actually appeared on screen for the first time. Questions? Check the FAQ.
