Our expert's notes

Nathan Algren's (Tom Cruise) battle katana from Edward Zwick's war epic The Last Samurai. Algren wielded his katana during the film's final battle against the Japanese Imperial Army after it was gifted to him by Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe).

Created by WETA in New Zealand, this Samurai sword is made of a durable resin and urethane. The sword features an inscription cast on the blade that reads "I belong the warrior in who the old ways have joined the new." Due to a mistake during the creation of the swords, the inscription on the blade is cast upside-down. Swords with the upside-down inscription were seen in action sequences during the film's climactic battle. The blade has been painted metallic in colour, with the edge painted a lighter colour to simulate the edge of an actual katana.

This sword shows minor wear, but remains in very good condition. Dimensions: 99 cm x 8 cm x 8 cm (39" x 3" x 3")

Estimate: £5000 - £7000
