The Bride's (Uma Thurman) bloodied Hattori Hanzo sword from Quentin Tarantino's revenge drama Kill Bill: Vol. 1. Beatrix Kiddo wielded the sword made for her by master bladesmith Hattori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba) against O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) and her Crazy 88. Chiba served as the film's sword consultant.

This katana features a bloodstained resin blade with a metallic paint finish inset into a metal habaki painted gold-color; a matte black metal tsuba; a textured white resin tsuka affixed with faux gold-color decorative jewels and wrapped with a black leather cord tsuka ito; and a faux gold-color kashira engraved with leaf emblems. Also included is a polished black bamboo saya with a matching leaf emblem tip; a gold-color aluminum hamon on each side; a gold-color rope sageo; and the Hattori Hanzo emblem etched into it.

The katana does not feature a personalized engraving, suggesting it was built for complex fight scenes and shots which highlighted the sheath over the blade. It exhibits nicks and a slash, and the hamons are lifting from production use and age. Dimensions: (sheathed) 42" x 4" x 4" (106.75 cm x 10.25 cm x 10.25 cm)

Estimate: $20,000 - 30,000
