Nathan Algren's (Tom Cruise) stolen samurai katana and scabbard from Edward Zwick's The Last Samurai. After returning to civilization, Algren was attacked in a courtyard by a gang of samurai whose katana he used to dispatch them.

Created by WETA Workshop, this dense polyurethane rubber katana originated from a crew member. It is cast around a metal core with textured gold-color tsuka painted to appear woven with a black leather tsuka ito, a rigid polyurethane rubber tsuba painted black, a bronze-color hibaki, and a blade painted in two tones of silver-color to appear sharp. Also included is a polyurethane scabbard engraved with floral patterns and wrapped with gold-color cord designed to be tied to Algren's waist during the battle scene.

The katana exhibits discoloration along the blade and corded wrapping, as well as scuffing on the tsuba and a buildup of grime in the final detailed crevices of the textured handle and decorative tip on the tsuba. Dimensions: (sheathed) 39" x 3.5" x 3.5" (99 cm x 9 cm x 9 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
