Nathan Algren's (Tom Cruise) stunt katana from Edward Zwick's feudal period piece The Last Samurai. Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe) presented Capt. Algren with his own katana to be used in the final battle of the Samurai.

This hard resin stunt katana features a brown and white corded grip with a goldtone resin trinket inside, a goldtone and brown-painted rubber hilt, and a silvertone blade inscribed with Japanese characters translated by Katsumoto to read "I belong to the warrior in whom the old ways have joined the new." However, the lettering is flipped compared to the hero sword due to an error in the construction. The katana exhibits signs of stunt use, including discoloration and scratching to the resin, but it remains in good overall condition.

Dimensions: 39 1/2" x 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" (100.5 cm x 8.5 cm x 8.5 cm)

Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
