Our expert's notes

Yukio's (Rila Fukushima) Katana and Metal Saya from James Mangold's 2013 X-Men spin-off, The Wolverine. Picking up after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) finds himself in Japan when an old acquaintance offers him an opportunity to confront his demons and his past. Yukio can be seen using this style of sword during the films finale when she battles Mariko's father and corporate rival, Shingen.
Expertly crafted, this Japanese katana features a dulled blade attached to a beautiful tsuka (handle). The sword rests in an extravagant saya (scabbard) with a highly detailed series of images engraved into the sides (see photos). These metallic engravings, which extend into the tsuka of the sword, depict a war and its aftermath. Although the saya features a metallic exterior, the interior is made of wood. Sharing the design aesthetic, the katana has a metal tsuka that continues the story found on the sides of the saya. This meets the tsuba (guard) which has four hearts cut into the corners.
This item shows minor chips in the blade near the tim, however it remains in otherwise very good condition.
