Siwode Handmade Sharp Sword,Zinc Alloy Tsuba, Japanese Ninja Samurai Short Katana Tanto (T10 Steel 1095) 20-Inch

I’ve never had a sword and don’t have an expert opinion on the quality or craftsmanship, so here’s my novice impression of this katana. The listing said “Japanese” three times with no mention of China, so I was disappointed to find the “Made in China” sticker when I opened the box. I also didn’t realize the display mount shown in half the pictures wasn’t included, until I noticed “The item not contain the katana standing”. Initial impressions of the katana are decent with a tight scabbard and no obvious flaws. There are more instructions than I expected and I found them a bit confusing...hold the blade upward then pull the blade up? At this price I wasn’t sure what to expect, I would’ve liked it to be made in Japan and include the mount but what I received is still nice.
