Please rate this item if you buy it, this will vastly help me out by getting seen more, and will help fund more cool items like this one!

Precision and perfection. It's what the Katana demands. Satisfying to swing, perfect for VR.

Push it out, grab the handle and unsheathe it. Feels as cool as it looks.

7 different blade particle effects, activated by swinging the katana, full with sound effects and everything.

Blood on hit toggle (yourself or other people), the katana will drip blood after a hit for a little bit, or you can wipe it clean with a fast swing.

Big flashy ninja-like effects, can be combined in various ways.

The Katana will automatically react with a parry effect when colliding with other people using the same asset, you can also create a parry effect by doing a rocker gesture with the hand that is currently not holding the katana.

Model is switchable for anything you have. The purchase comes with a video guide explaining the process
