The Samurai sword, or Katana, is made of steel that has been folded on itself over and over and over again. The impurities of the metal are refined out and the beauty of the sword revealed. Katanas have a slight curve through the blade, which originally had only been at the tang.

So strong muscles are needed to wield it as a weapon. The finish for a truly authentic replica is hand done and is considered to be a very attractive and even satin finish. Deep engraving in the form of runes decorates what is known as the ricasso near the guard and pommel.

Sometimes a letter opener can be made to contain ivory as a decorative part of the handle grip. The sizes of these miniature swords vary but are often about seven to nine inches long.

Sword letter openers on the other hand are often made of steel, stainless steel, pewter, or some other kind of metal. Some have finishes that are composed of gold or silver. They are constructed in miniature and often resemble swords of specific historical significance, movie swords, or are an exact replica of an antique sword.

The sword itself throughout history has often been looked upon as a symbol of justice, truth, equality, and firmness. As a result of this symbolism many organizations have used swords in some of their most sacred rites and ceremonies.

Some swords have also been the symbol of a king’s right to rule, at least fictionally, his kingdom. For example the was the legend of King Arthur and his sword Excalibur. A sword that was intended only for the man destined to rule Camelot and once he was no more the sword had to be returned to whence came.
